Colin won Iron Chef!!

 WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!

I'm so happy for him and his teammates!!!

First their mentors deserted them (the chefs who had been training them didn't show up)....
and then they had to bring their own knives because the chefs had them,
and then of course the fiasco of them going to practice one final time
preparing their meal before todays finals (it has been two weeks since they practiced)
and they couldn't go shopping here yesterday because the grocery stores
were closed because of Family Day so they couldn't practice!

He phoned just now and said he won all sorts of prizes from local restaurants and stores,
his own professional knife set and folding bag for it, a big cooking pot,
tickets to see our local OHA team the Belleville Bulls,
and to top it all off a $500 bursary for the college if he decides to attend there 

He said that after the winner was announced he had people swarming him
to take his picture and asking him questions and telling him
to talk into the microphone please, lol.....
I think he felt a tad like a celebrity!!
He has no idea though what tv or radio stations they were!

I guess we're gonna have to watch all the local news tonite eh? 

There were camera crews filming the competition today and all the contestants
will get a DVD copy of it....but they aren't sure yet which station it will air
on tv and when.

How cool is that??!!!
I'm not gushing too much am I??? LOL
