Bailey Sullivan Biography – Bailey Sullivan Wiki
Bailey Sullivan is executive chef of the award-winning Monteverde Restaurant & Pastificio in Chicago, Illinois. She is a contestant on Season 22 of Top Chef and she was named a Rising Star by Starchefs in 2021.
Chicago native Bailey Sullivan was born into the hospitality industry. Growing up in her dad’s Irish pub, Goldyburgers, she always knew she wanted to pursue a career as a chef.
While attending culinary school at Kendall College, Bailey interned and worked at a two Michelin-starred restaurant in Chicago, before working under Chef Matthias Merges at Yusho Logan Square, where she developed an appreciation and passion for Asian ingredients and ramen.
After graduation her path continued at “Top Chef” alum Beverly Kim’s Michelin-starred restaurant Parachute before joining Monteverde Restaurant and Pastificio to learn the art of hand-made pasta and regional Italian cuisine under James Beard Award-winning chef and “Top Chef” finalist Sarah Grueneberg.
Bailey immediately fell in love with Italian ingredients and sensibilities, and over the course of more than eight years, she has worked her way up the kitchen from line cook, sous chef, purchasing sous, executive sous, and chef di cucina to her current role as executive chef.
Known for embracing seasonal produce and global flavors with an Italian hand, Bailey has earned a reputation for embracing the “atipica” side of Italian cuisine—blending tradition with bold whimsical twists. When she’s not in the kitchen, Bailey enjoys singing karaoke or spending time with her two cats, Giuseppe and Arthas.
