Chef Andrea Heinly, best known as Chef Andrea, one of 16 contestants from season five of “Hell’s Kitchen,” a popular reality TV show, is the new executive chef at Jimmie Kramer’s The Peanut Bar Restaurant.
Heinly, 35, of Reading came in third on the Fox network show.
Michael J. Leifer, president and CEO of Jimmie Kramer’s, said it’s a big deal for the Peanut Bar because Heinly has attained a bit of celebrity status.
Although taped in Los Angeles in November 2007, season five aired from Jan. 29, 2009, until May 14, 2009.
