Hey, remember in December when I said a young chef named Whitney Otawka who works at Cumberland Island’s Greyfield Inn was a chef to watch? Turns out I may have been right. Rumors around town are that Otawka, who has worked under Hugh Acheson and Linton Hopkins, is a contestant on the new season of “Top Chef,” which Eater recently reported is filming in Texas. Eater has some speculation about other contestants for the new season as well.
I have eaten this woman’s food and she’s the real deal, at least in the kitchen if not on the grand stage of reality television. Here’s hoping the rumors are true.
