Josie Smith-Malave
Chef Josie Smith-Malave is making the move from the New York Sharks, the women’s professional football team, to the New York Yankees. The former linebacker and one of the stars of Bravo’s Top Chef Season Two is now the Executive Sous Chef at the Yankee Stadium steakhouse, NYY Steak. Whether she’s taking hits on the football field or cooking up a storm on the baseball field, Smith-Malave is always on fire. She says of the Yankees, “It’s good to be associated with champions! And being a part of New York City history has been incredible…it makes waking up in the morning easy!” In her spare time, Smith-Malave is working on a condiment line, a social networking site and a
TV concept. But she never loses sight of the impact she’s had on the gay community: “I will continue to use my voice to change the world, one day at a time and also keep it real with each person I meet.” -KD
