Season 15 Top Chef contestant Fatima Ali's cancer has returned, and is terminal

This is really sad. I never ate her food but she was so generous and likeable on the show. And the article I’ve linked is painful to read.

Sad to hear. I agree, she was very likeable on the show.

I just found out about this yesterday from seeing Padma Lakshmi’s Instagram post. I enjoyed watching Fatima on Top Chef and Chopped. She is so young. It is very sad.

Someone has set up a Go Fund Me account for her so she can travel and eat at all the places she’s hoped to during the time she has left.

Thanks for sharing. An intense read although I didn’t know who she is.

I’ve posted this elsewhere, but I guess it belongs here.

And she didn’t even have a year. Awful. Fuck cancer.
