Newfoundland takes a bite out of the big apple!!

Well here is the team of Newfoundland chef's that I took to New York last year to go to the James Beard house . I must say that we blew the competiton out of the water , what a great event and the comments were out of this world . This is the sort of events that newfoundland chef's have to continue to do , we must keep pushing the envelope andour skills to an international level.
chef's from left to right are Roger Andrews, Brian piercy, Sonia okeefe, Gil Bromley, Angie Ryan, Roary Mac Pherson and Brian Abbott Cook On.

Gold medal plates St. john's

Well St. John's hosted it's first Gold medal plates competiton , and i must say it was a terrific event. It was without a doubt the best competition that I have ever seen in the province of newfoundland and labrador. It was more like the old day's , all the people competiting were working together, there was no pressure, I really hope that it it continues it was a real great networking event.
Congrats to Ivan and I really wish him all the luck at the national competition, the dish that won him the gold was terrific and well deserved victory.

It is good to know that there is so much great competition here in St. john's , it makes me proud to be a Newfoundlander.
