Yesterday I spoke to Jill Snyder, the latest cheftestant to pack her knives and leave
Top Chef. Jill's a chef in Baltimore, MD, where she enjoys making desserts and crab cakes. She wishes she would have defended her dish better, but claims that with the cameras staring at her, she choked up.

Last week I had the wonderful opportunity to sit down with
Dale DeGroff. If you've never heard of DeGroff, you'll be surprised to know that he has changed your life. Remember that basil gimlet you enjoyed at the bar last week?

Earlier today, at 1 p.m. PST to be exact, history was made at the
Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco. Irish coffee making champion Frank Silletti, in conjecture with the staff of the Buena Vista, made the world's largest
Irish coffee.

Yesterday I had the lovely opportunity of speaking with cookbook author and burger queen
Katie Lee Joel over the phone. She was calling from New York City to set the record straight about her
Burger Bash win.
According to her critics, the
Logan County Burger, which won fair and square, is not a burger at all, but rather a popular sandwich known as a patty melt.

Last week I had the chance to speak with
Food Network's
Guy Fieri. He's the host of three shows —
Guy's Big Bite,
Diners, Drive-ins, Dives, and
Guy Off the Hook — and winner of the
Next Food Network Star season two. Filming keeps him incredibly busy, but in his spare time, the celebrity chef — who prefers hot dogs to hamburgers and mustard to ketchup — continues to experiment in the kitchen.
