Disgraced Top Chef Winner Gabe Erales’ Restaurant Bacalar Closes
On Monday, the word went up on Bacalar’s social media: “Exciting changes coming soon!”. Maybe less exciting for Gabe Erales, the executive chef who based the Rainey Street restaurant’s menu on his childhoods spent in the Yucatán Peninsula. Opened in September 2023, Bacalar marked Erales’ first new restaurant since winning Top Chef season 18 in 2021. That moment of triumph was significantly complicated when news broke that Erales had been terminated from then-homebase Comedor for misconduct. In a now-deleted Instagram post, the longtime Austin chef acknowledged he had had an extramarital affair with a Comedor employee and then reduced her work hours, which, Erales conceded at the time, “in combination was a poor judgment call and led to my termination after I filmed Top Chef.”

Spurs point guard of the future may have just signed an extension with Pacers
If there's anything the San Antonio Spurs have shown fans, it's that they are very patient and are willing to allow things to fall into place over time.
