Naomi Pomeroy, a renowned figure for her culinary expertise on Top Chef, has sadly left us.
The body of the Portland chef was discovered in a river on July 17, following a report of her disappearance a few days earlier. The Benton County Sheriff’s Office has verified that she perished by drowning.
The examination indicated that Pomeroy, her spouse Kyle Linden Webster, and a friend got intertwined while using connected tubes and a paddleboard.
The Corvallis Fire Department rescued the other two grown-ups by the shore and took them to a boat launch. Unfortunately, they couldn’t find Pomeroy right away, as per the sheriff’s office.
When Naomi went missing, Sheriff Van Arsdall promised, “We are working hard to find her and bring her back to her family. Thank you to everyone helping in the search and rescue efforts.”
They found her body when some people in canoes saw it. The officials said she couldn’t get loose because of the leash on the paddle board.
Pomeroy was a big deal in the food world in Oregon. She became famous in Portland when she started her restaurant, Beast, in 2007. Just two years later, she was named one of Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs.
In 2013, they started a cool cocktail bar in Portland called Expatriate. Then, the next year, she won a big award for being the best chef in the Northwest and Pacific!
Pomeroy was on TV shows like Iron Chef and Top Chef Masters, and she was a guest judge on Top Chef in seasons 10, 15, and 18.
After Naomi Pomeroy passed away, the TV show and Bravo, the channel it’s on, shared a message on X to say how sorry they were.
The Bravo and Top Chef family are very sorry for the loss of Chef Naomi Pomeroy. She was an amazing chef who left a big impact on the cooking world.
May she rest in peace.
