beverly kim on top chef: texas



For those looking forward to the return of Bravo's cooking competition Top Chef, heads up... this season's new crop of contestants includes Beverly Kim.

Hailing from Chicago, she'll be bringing a little bit of that Seoul flava to the Texas-sized competition. She also happens to be the sister of our good friend Lee Ann Kim, Executive Director of the San Diego Asian Film Foundation.

Watch her casting video here.

Beverly's got a Facebook page here. There are actually several Asian faces among the 29 chefs hoping to compete on the show this season, though obviously not all of them are going to make the cut. Fingers crossed. Check out all the casting videos here.

Top Chef: Texas, hosted by Padma Lakshmi, premieres Wednesday, November 2 on Bravo. For more information, go to the show's official site here.
