Here's How Much Top Chef Judge Gail Simmons Is Really Worth
Gail Simmons had a humble beginning as a food writer for the paper at the university she attended, and then for larger publications until she became a judge on Top Chef in 2006. After years of appearing on the hit food show, she is worth $2.5 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth. The food critic used some of her earnings to purchase a condo in Brooklyn, which was made out of "an old converted church" (via the Toronto Sun).
Besides making money on the Bravo reality show, Simmons has published a memoir and a cookbook. Her memoir, Talking with My Mouth Full: My Life As A Professional Eater, was released in 2012, and the author used the book to answer a series of questions she was frequently asked. While promoting the book, Simmons also mentioned her charitable work. "If you are lucky enough to get to eat for a living, remember that so many others go without food every day," she told Refinery29 in a 2012 interview.
Giving back to the community is important to the successful food writer. "There's a lot more to my passion and my food that people don't get to see," she told Chicago Now in 2017. "I like to get my hands dirty and you don't get to see me with my hands dirty on TV." As covered by MarketWatch, the Top Chef judge was part of the "Skip Lunch, Fight Hunger" campaign and teamed up with City Harvest in providing supplies to pantries and food kitchens for those in need.
