Since graduating she has been a cheerleader for the San Francisco 49ers Gold Rush and attended the Kendall College School of Culinary Arts.

    Apparently, the Food Network may bring back a finalist who was eliminated in the first three episodes to compete again. So far Kara Sigle is doing well in the fan poll. Your additional support would help. Please vote on this link. Let’s get our Red Bird back in the running!
