AUSTIN, Texas — Editor's note: The above video was published in 2018.
An Austin chef will be among the dozens of men hoping to win the star's heart on the upcoming season of ABC's "The Bachelorette."
The show's official Facebook page released a gallery of this season's cast of suitors on Tuesday, including 37-year-old chef Page Pressley. In Austin, Pressley has worked at Uchiko, served as a partner at Emmer & Rye and worked as part of the opening team at Swedish Hill, all before founding Foxtail Supper Club, which offers "unique in-home dining experiences."
Pressley has also worked in Santa Fe, New Mexico; Philadelphia; New York City; Miami; Mexico City; and at The Bellagio in Las Vegas.
Pressley will be one of 31 men on the 16th season of "The Bachelorette," all trying to win over 39-year-old Clare Crawley and prove they can show her "unconditional love and respect." Also included in the group is "Tyler S," a music manager from Georgetown.
According to Entertainment Tonight, the COVID-19 pandemic forced production of Crawley's season to shut down "just hours before she was supposed to meet her suitors at the Bachelor mansion in March." Now, Crawley is getting ready to start filming again with a new cast.

According to KVUE's media partners at Austin360, previous appearances include The Dogwood co-owner Brad Womack, who starred on "The Bachelor" in 2007, and Rachel Lindsey, a University of Texas at Austin alumnus who starred on "The Bachelorette" in 2017.
Entertainment Tonight reports that the new season of "The Bachelorette" is expected to air on Tuesdays this fall, but a premiere date has yet to be announced.
