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.
