Meat Market - South Beach

 
 These past few weeks have been crazy for me! Between the culinary competition, school, the website, and interviews, I have barely had any time to sit back and relax (although I’m definitely not complaining). Last week along with my camera crew I went to film the first Cookisode™ with a chef. We traveled to South Beach in Miami and met with Executive Chef Sean Brasel of Meat Market.

Silver!!!! Not Bronze...

These past couple of days I’ve been sick at home. I lay around the house and eat food up in my room while blowing my nose and throwing an endless amount of tissues into the trash basket. I was watching Jamie at home (greatest cooking show on TV) when I received a peculiar email. The email read Good/Bad news from Steve Sitnick (Chef Judge) from the culinary competition.

(actual email)

“Hi Paige and Jeremy,

I have some good news and some bad news.
The bad news is that your bronze medals need to be returned.  The good news is that they will be replaced with SILVER medals as the final scores were incorrectly tabulated.  Your final total was 33.87, which falls into the silver medal category.  I will be happy to send you the replacement medals as soon as you can return the bronze medals.

I apologize for the mix-up but I am happy that it was an upgrade to what you received before.”

As you can probably imagine, my heart stopped beating! I jumped up out of my bed and ran as fast as I could to the nearest phone to let everyone know. I’m feeling much better now!

The Greatest Feeling

 This is a short blog entry, but I feel the need to share it with you. Lately,  Jeremycooks has been gaining a lot of notoriety and in return I’m receiving emails from teens like you.

Every time my phone goes BING! I cant wait to see who it’s from. People tell me how great the site is and how cool it is to finally have a website for teens who love food. It is truly the greatest feeling and I thank all of you that have sent these emails
and support the site.

In the near future Jeremycooks will introduce the TCN  (Teen Chef Network) where teen chefs can communicate with each other from all over, and then I hope you will feel the same way as I do each time I hear from one of you.

You guys are the best!
Keep on cooking!!
