Chicago chef Stephanie Izard asked Republican Cook County Board member and state's attorney candidate Tony Peraica to stop using the Top Chef winner's photo in his campaign materials, the Sun-Times reports.
"She didn't approve her likeness to be used in any sort of Republican product," Izard's publicist told the paper, adding that the chef is a registered Democrat.
Izard's photo is featured in the logo for the public access show "What's Cookin' with the Republicans!" The show features a cooking segment in a local restaurant, like a Republican metropolitan water reclamation district candidate whipping up an omelette, followed by a Peraica-led roundtable with various Cook County Republicans.
The logo features Izard next to Peraica, who is wearing a chef's hat and wielding a spatula over an elephant-shaped grill.
