We sat down with Chef Paula Endara to talk about her incredible journey—from competing on Top Chef Season 22 (airing now!) to balancing motherhood with leading the kitchen at one of Kentucky’s top hotels.⁠⁠Her story is all about passion, grit, and a relentless drive to grow.⁠

She’s still relatively new to Kentucky, but already in love with the community, the food, and the energy here.⁠

⁠All that and more in this inspiring episode.⁠
