Bethlehem Chef Competes on Hell's Kitchen

There’s a familiar face among the contestants this season on Hell’s Kitchen: Ashley Sherman.

Originally from New Jersey, Sherman presently works at ArtsQuest, a Bethlehem performing arts center. She told philly.com that she started cooking in pizza shops at the age of 16, “and I just kept doing it.”

Her signature dish is a chipotle chicken and chorizo deconstructed taco.

Other Eastern Pennsylvania contestants Sade Dancy of University City, Denine Giordano of South Philedelphia, and Jennifer Salhoff of Roxborough.
