Hope to see you there!

Many moons ago...

Once upon a time when I was working at Kendall College in Chicago as a culinary instructor I experienced a brief, if not meteoric rise to fame. Followed almost immediately by a return to the shadows. Since I have been so neglectful of this blog over the past two years I felt it only appropriate to begin with an oldie but a goodie.

Ladies and gentleman I was the poster child for egg safety! The American Egg Board chose yours truly to be the face of culinary greatness, as it applies to eggs. I was not able to secure an SAG card so my part is limited to acting, not speaking. Check out my 15 minutes of fame in a series of four short videos titled inspect, clean, test and time. To view these little gems click on the four words in blue and all caps below the diagram.

Over the coming weeks I will be making some updates and changes to the blog. Please bear with me as I resurrect this little treasure trove of food information.
