Kevin Gillespie (born September 30, 1982) is an American chef residing in Atlanta, GA. He is the co-owner and executive chef at the Woodfire Grill Restaurant in Atlanta.[1]
He was a finalist in the sixth season of Top Chef, Bravo's cooking competition show[2][3] and was voted as the "Fan Favorite" contestant for the season.[4] As a prize for winning one of the Top Chef episodes, Gillespie was invited to compete in the Bocuse d'Or USA cooking competition, for the opportunity to be the U.S. representative in the 2011 international Bocuse d'Or,[5] but later withdrew due to not having enough time to prepare.[6]
Gillespie reached the semi-final stage of the 2009 James Beard Rising Star Chef of the Year awards[7] and was recognized in 2010 by the Gayot guide as one of the Top 5 rising chefs in the U.S.[8]
