Beverly Kim (A.A.S., Culinary Arts, 2000) has successfully cooked her way through a drama-filled season of Bravo’s hit reality show “Top Chef: Texas.”

Beverly Kim（A.A.S.，西餐西点专业2000年毕业生）的成功表现使Bravo电视台的真人秀节目《顶级大厨》（Top Chef: Texas）充满戏剧性的一季完美落幕。

She’s survived bullying about her preparation time and made meals from emergency kits using a portable stove in a muddy field. She’s shed more than a few tears and a whole lot of sweat in kitchens as steamy as a hot-yoga room. But that’s all part of the job when you’re a contestant on “Top Chef,” which pits some of the nation’s best cooks against each other in timed kitchen challenges.

在有限的时间内，她成功在泥泞的田地里用手提式炉子等紧急设备做菜。她在像热瑜伽室一样闷热的厨房里工作，落了很多泪、流了很多汗。但是这是《顶级大厨》竞赛中全部要做的工作，还要同美国一些最好的厨师进行限时厨艺比拼。

Beverly Kim, the chef de cuisine at Aria Restaurant in Chicago, made it through the first week’s showdown that took a field of 29 chefs down to the official starting 16, and her Korean-inspired dishes were heralded by the show’s judges almost every week. Kim made it to the top seven, and then she was cut from the competition. However, in a new twist this year, eliminated cheftestants competed in the “Last Chance Kitchen” for a chance to come back and compete in the finals. Kim triumphed and made it to the final four, but unfortunately was then sent home after a very close cook-off that included an ice pick and a rifle!

芝加哥阿丽雅餐厅（Aria Restaurant ）厨师长Beverly Kim，通过了第一周的厨艺比拼，29名厨师被刷掉只剩下16名，几乎每一周她受韩国菜激发创造的菜品都会得到评委的赞扬。Kim成功进入前七，后来被刷掉。然而，今年迎来了新的转折点，被刷的参赛者通过《Last Chance Kitchen》进行厨艺比拼可以再次重返竞赛进入决赛。Kim在竞赛中获胜，闯入前四，但是很不幸，在一场以冰钻和步枪做工具的烹饪竞赛中被淘汰。

Kim refined her skill set at Kendall. Chef Sarah Stegner of Prairie Grass Cafe and formerly the Ritz-Carlton Chicago dining room encouraged her to pursue a degree at Kendall to hone her culinary skills and techniques. Following graduation, Kim surveyed a number of courses on Asian cuisine in Seoul, South Korea, which gives her culinary creations a decidedly contemporary taste and edge.

Kim在肯代尔大学提升了自己的技能。 Prairie Grass Cafe餐厅和前芝加哥丽兹卡尔顿酒店（Ritz-Carlton Chicago）餐厅的厨师Sarah Stegner，鼓励Kim在肯代尔攻读学位，锻炼自己的烹饪技能和技巧。毕业后，Kim在韩国首尔调查研究了各种亚洲烹饪课程，这使她的烹饪菜品很明显有一种现代风味。

We are so proud of Chef Kim!

我们为厨师Kim感到自豪！
