Columbus Woman Wins Reality Show Competition

COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) — The wife of a Columbus Air Force Base technician wins a reality show competition on the Food Network.

WCBI has been following Seonkyoung Longest’s progress on “Restaurant Express” and Sunday night she was crowned the winner. She is now the executive chef of her very own restaurant.

“Jayde Fusion” opens Tuesday at the M Resort Spa Casino in Las Vegas.

The show was taped months ago, so Longest actually moved to Nevada last month to begin preparations for her new restaurant.

The South Korea native learned to speak English watching the Food Network when her husband, Jacob, was assigned to Columbus Air Force Base as a physiologist .
