None could be more proud than Houston Chef Dawn Burrell.

The former Olympic athlete turned chef and one of three contestants in the final Season 18 of Bravo Top Chef Portland.

Chef Burrell is set to open her very first restaurant in early 2022 at a very iconic location, the former Sears building on Main Street.

The Houston chef named the restaurant Late August, an homage to the Sears catalog, which came out yearly in late August. She wanted to create some of those warm feelings she got while looking through the catalog.
