‘Top Chef’ Star Leaves Las Vegas Again | Eater Vegas

"I was surprised to learn that Carla Pellegrino, the 'Top Chef' star and winner of 'Throwdown with Bobby Flay' who joined Limoncello Fresh Italian Kitchen in January as partner and chef, will step away effective Saturday, October 28. Pellegrino—who previously ran restaurants such as Bacio at the Tropicana and Bratalian in Henderson, both now shuttered—said she is preparing to take on an exciting new dining concept that will require a move and her full attention, and she looks forward to sharing details when the time is right; she also said it has been her pleasure to once again call Las Vegas her home and that she hopes her path leads her back here." - Janna Karel
