Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Notability (people), which says: "People are presumed if they have received significant coverage in  that are,  of each other, and .If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability." Sources   The article notes: "Luck was born in San Francisco and spent time abroad with his parents (who lived in Japan for several years and worked as travelling exotic dancers across Asia). But as a fair-skinned, half-Creole and half-Cajun, biracial man, Luck says he’s used to people trying to figure out his race. ... After his father’s death, Luck says his mother “did the best she could” to raise him and his younger brother, but by the time he was 16, his mother was in prison and he was the provider for himself and his younger brother. They were living in San Francisco, where he dealt drugs to make quick money, and then moved to Phoenix to live with a cousin, where Luck joined a culinary arts vocational class to “get a free lunch.”"   The article notes: "Brother Luck has been on television a lot. He did the remarkable and beat Bobby Flay and followed that with two seasons on Top Chef shortly thereafter. He’s received a lot of press and a lot of praise for these appearances. Each one of his flirtations with the limelight has garnered the Colorado Springs-based restaurateur a great deal of well-deserved attention, but for kitchen-maestro born Brother Marcellus Haywood Luck IV this is just one chapter in a culinary epic that stretches back to adolescence." </li> <li> The article notes: "Brother Luck would be the first to tell you about the similarities and differences between Last Chance Kitchen and the proper Top Chef competition. They both have the same fundamental ingredients but use them in completely different techniques. ... Of the competitors from Top Chef seasons past and present that Brother faced in Last Chance Kitchen, he had far and away the most experience. After his elimination in Colorado, he racked up win after win in Last Chance Kitchen, only to lose at the very end to Joe Flamm." </li> <li> The article notes: "When he isn’t wowing taste buds, local celebrity, Chef Brother Luck, is pushing the culinary boundaries and inspiring large audiences across the nation – starting here in Colorado Springs with cheeseburger dumplings. ... Chef Luck is a James Beard nominee, and a fan favorite on culinary competition shows like Top Chef, Chopped, and Beat Bobby Flay. He’s recently appeared on the Rachael Ray Show, the Today Show, and was featured in Food and Wine Magazine. ... Luck is the owner of Lucky Dumpling, The Studio, and Four by Brother Luck in Downtown Colorado Springs." </li> <li> The article notes: "Brother Luck (yes, his real name), is the proprietor and executive chef of the relatively new Brother Luck Street Eats located on West Colorado Avenue. Luck oversees all restaurant operations, including the sourcing and preparation of seasonal, farm-to-table fare, much of it from local distributors. He hadn’t always been the boss, however, as he recalls his first restaurant job, washing dishes at 14 years old. ... Luck was born in San Francisco and grew up in Oakland’s inner city. ... Luck said he essentially earned his degree from the Art Institute of Phoenix at no charge. He paid for his tuition with winnings he’d earned as a competitive chef while attending the institute. Following graduation, he was newly married and still a teenager when he moved to Colorado Springs to be closer to his wife’s family." </li> <li> The article notes: "After his father passed away when Luck was 10 years old and the family fell on hard times, they moved from San Francisco to Phoenix. Luck studied culinary arts at Metro Tech High School and the Art Institute of Phoenix and received a C-CAP scholarship. ... Luck worked at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Phoenix and moved on to work at Hyatt properties in San Antonio, Chicago and Colorado. His career took him around the world and he settled in Colorado Springs. His signature restaurant Four is inspired by the Four Corners where Colorado, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico meet." </li> <li> The article notes: "Last week, in spite of “Top Chef” host Padma Lakshmi saying “Brother’s dish was the yummiest” at judging, Colorado Springs chef Brother Luck was told to pack his knives and go. His German egg rolls didn’t quite fit the Elitch Gardens Elimination Challenge to pair authentic German food with a radler (half beer, half fruit soda), the other judges (including D Bar’s Keegan Gerhard) determined." </li> <li> The article notes: "Luck, who's the fourth generation to bear the name (although the first to have it listed on his birth certificate; the previous three generations were officially named Marcellus Luck), is the chef/owner of Brother Luck Street Eats in Colorado Springs, where the menu is inspired by street food from around the world. Luck appeared on the "Beast Feast" episode of Chopped, which first aired on November 22 last year." </li> <li>The Gazette articles:<ol> <li> The article notes: "Brother Luck has written a memoir, “No Lucks Given,” about the trials and tribulations of life from a tough childhood, life lessons learned on the streets, in kitchens and counseling sessions. Luck has been a chef 17 years and is the owner of Four By Brother Luck and Lucky Dumpling, both in Colorado Springs. You’ll read about his experiences of being on reality cooking-competition shows including “Chopped,” “Beat Bobby Flay” (who he did beat) and two seasons of Bravo’s “Top Chef.”" </li> <li> The article notes: "Brother Luck, owner of Four by Brother Luck, Lucky Dumpling and The Studio, is offering his online cooking classes again. The classes were a big success during the pandemic shutdown and now he is bringing them back." </li> <li> The article notes: "Luck has competed and hung in for 10 "Last Chance Kitchen" segments, the online companion cooking contest to Bravo’s "Top Chef." Episode 6 of "Last Chance Kitchen" ended in a cliffhanger. We didn’t know if Luck had won the coveted spot to return to "Top Chef."" </li> <li> The article notes: "Brother Luck and his wife, Tina, have relaunched Lucky Dumpling kitchen in Colorado Springs with a full menu for curbside takeout." </li> <li> The article notes: "Brother Luck is enjoying some good fortune. Months ago, the chef-owner of Brother Luck Street Eats set his sights on becoming a contender on Food Network's "Chopped: Impossible Restaurant Challenge." ... On Monday, Luck got his wish. He and his wife, Tina, will be flying to New York City at the end of January to film the contest." </li> </ol></li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Brother Luck to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
