News came last month that Top Chef‘s Lindsay Autry, a finalist on season nine, was taking over the kitchen at Dupont’s Firefly. Now plans have changed, even before the chef really started at the restaurant.
A representative says Autry got engaged over the weekend to longtime boyfriend and Palm Beach Food and Wine Festival founder David Sabin. The two will remain in Florida. A new leader has yet to be selected to replace Todd Wiss, who’s headed to other locations within the Kimpton Hotel restaurant group. Stay tuned for more details.
