Answer:
The type of irony found in this excerpt is: situational irony.
Explanation:
Situational irony is a literary device consisting of leading the reader to believe a certain event / ending will take place and then unexpectedly changing the outcome.
The author describes Chef Kylie's dishes in detail. Readers get to know that his most acclaimed dishes all consist of meat - lots and lots of meat. With such a description, it is ironic for the author to, all of a sudden, reveal that the chef is actually a vegetarian. Most readers probably do not see it coming at all. Who would expect a vegetarian to used so much meat in their own cooking? Why would a vegetarian cook something they do not eat themselves? Readers are thus shocked by this revelation, and that is where the situational irony lies.
