Reality/ Not really Reality Contestants

Dear Diary-
I was pumped to be part of the Latin Food and Wine Fest this past weekend. I had a great time and met a bunch of new peeps and hopefully some bigger and better things will come of this. I was most looking forward to meeting Jeff McGinnis from Top Chef. He really rocked on his season and was even brought back to try to knock another competitor out. I like the whole idea of being brought back :) HINT HINT Food Network! Just sayin...Anyway Jeff made a delicious looking watermelon and hot cheese salad with celery hearts- my favorite part of celery! He was cool to chat with Gabe tried to get some good dirt on the Top Chef behind the scenes as I prepped for my chicken lettuce wraps demo. Gabe for sure went out of his comfort zone and well outside his dome when he asked Jeff and his lady friend to stay around for a drink before they drove back to Miami. Cool to see someone you really thought was talented in person.. looking forward to meeting more chefs!
