CHEF KEVIN GILLESPIE'S "CULINARY JOURNEY"
AIRING ON CNN INTERNATIONAL IN JULY

Acclaimed Chef and Cookbook Author Takes Viewers on a Tour of Argentina

WHAT:     

Atlanta-based chef, restaurateur and cookbook author Kevin Gillespie is starring on the small screen again. Gillespie, who has built a reputation for creating refined and rustic dishes rooted in the American South, is featured this July on CNN International's "Culinary Journeys."

The four-time James Beard Award nominee was inspired by Brazilian churrascaria-style dining and Chinese dim sum when he opened Gunshow in Atlanta in 2013.  The chef's passion for traditional, open-flame grilling sets him on a culinary journey to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Steeped in the culture of the Argentinian Gaucho, Gillespie travels across the Buenos Aires countryside to explore the asado method of grilling meat. Along his journey, he has an intimate lunch with world-renowned Argentine chef Francis Mallmann to discuss what it takes to prepare the perfect open-flame asado.
