ATLANTA, GA – In case you missed it, last week 2025 Georgia Grown Executive Chef Chelsia Green-Ogletree won the top-prize while competing on the Food Network’s hit show Chopped. Airing last Tuesday night, the “Superhero Chef” episode spotlighted chefs making a difference in their communities. Chef Chelsia stood out for her soulful, Southern-forward cuisine and her dedication to feeding and empowering students through a healthy, diverse lunch program. In addition to being a Georgia Grown Executive Chef, Chef Chelsea owns and operates Her Majesty’s Kitchen & Catering and serves as the Executive Chef at St. Joseph’s Catholic School in Macon.
“Chef Chelsia did an incredible job representing Georgia Grown and the entire State of Georgia on last week’s episode of Chopped,” said Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler J Harper. “We were thrilled to see her take home the top-prize as the Chopped champion, and we’re proud to congratulate her on a hard-earned victory!”
