From Chef Z!
Hello everyone!
I wanted to let you all know how grateful, humbled and honored we are for all the support you have shown us. Thank you to Marisa for entering us into this competition and a huge thank you to my biggest supporter Adrienne for your endless posts and shares on all of our platforms pushing her favorite as far as she could. Thank you to Carla Hall and the Favorite Chef group for allowing me to be represented and raise monies for the James Beard Foundation. Thank you all for your persistence in voting daily and a humbled thank you for those who have generously donated monies to the campaign. The James Beard Foundation does great works supporting the American Food Culture and the people who work hard everyday in the industry.
I’m not conceding but I just want to say at this point if you choose to purchase votes, know that it would be a donation as I don’t see us moving on at this point. You all have been so amazingly supportive and I am so very grateful for your efforts. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
PEACE
Chef Z.
