What’s red and bushy, has fancy W Hotel parties thrown in its honor, can be spotted at local joints including Morelli’s Ice Cream and the “Ghetto” Kroger and boasts nearly 8,000 Facebook fans? That would be KEVIN GILLESPIE’S BEARD. Kevin Gillespie might be a “Top Chef” finalist and James Beard semifinalist who can create a transcendent meal as easily with pork belly and veal chop as with a bundle of farm-fresh veggies, but it’s his Yukon Cornelius-inspired facial hair that’s earned him the national fame he deserves. Oh, and if you’re angling for a KGB sighting, your best bet is the dining room at Woodfire Grill. The best tables offer an unobstructed view of the open kitchen - and the chef’s lustrous beard.
Editor’s note: This blurb has been modified to correctly reflect Gillespie’s recognition from the James Beard Foundation.
