Madison won!!! And I couldn't be more thrilled. Anyone who knows me knows I love Food Network and "Chopped" is one of my favorite shows. But today was special because they had the $50,000.00 championship cook off between 16 winners. It was brutal.
I adored Madison when he won the first time. He has been homeless on two continents, is Jamaican by birth, married to a Danish woman, and his daughter is the light of his life. He is humble and exudes sincerity and honesty.
When he won, they brought out his daughter and I watched him hug her and tear up. Hell, I teared up as did Alex Guarnaschelli. I was in very good company.
But what I loved the most was his parting line. "I showed my daughter today that it's not what you say, but what you do."
Oh!
ReplyDeleteDid you see that he has a food blog?

And what is this thing I just read about: A global clandestine dining club. He runs it, whatever it is.
I need to find out what this is. And he's in NYC?
As for his parting line: I love it.
Sounds like this guy is a wunderkind in the food world. I'm checking him out!
