Is another Baltimorean a contestant on Top Chef?

I heard from a very reliable source that Jesse Sandlin, the chef at Abacrombie, was in Las Vegas now competing on the reality show Top Chef. I called the restaurant, which is usually closed on Mondays, and the pastry chef answered. She said she was pretty sure that wasn't true, but Chef Sandlin wasn't in to confirm or deny. All I could find on the 'net was the rumor that the sixth season will take place in Vegas.

I hope so! I love Top Chef and her food. If the rumor is true, I hope she lasts longer than the first Baltimore chef on the show :-)

Im pretty sure I saw chef checking in an order Thursday outside the restaurant, so I think this is false.

Vegas and Australia are pretty far from Abacrombie.
