Duskie Lynn Estes (born August 4, 1968)[1][2][3] is an American chef and restaurateur.

Early life and career[]

Estes is the youngest child born to a scientist father and to Carroll L. Estes, a sociology professor.[2][1][10] She studied pre-med and law at Brown University prior to becoming a chef.[2][4] Estes then briefly attended California Culinary Academy before graduating from Brown University.[2]

Television career[]

In October 2010, Estes was selected to compete in the third season of the Food Network series The Next Iron Chef; she was eliminated at the end of the fourth episode.[2] She returned to the series during the fifth season, where she was eliminated after the second episode.[11]

Estes also infrequently serves as a judge on Guy's Grocery Games.[4][12]

Personal life[]

Estes was a vegetarian for 22 years before meeting her husband, fellow chef and salumist John Stewart.[2][12][7] Together they own and operate the restaurants Zazu Kitchen + Farm, Bovolo, The Black Piglet and Black Pig Meat Co.[9][7][6][4]

Estes and Stewart have two daughters, Brydie (born 2001) and Mackenzie (born 2002), who inspired the name for their farm, MacBryde Farm.[7][8]
