If you’ve been following my posts on the Sears Chef Challenge, it’s now time to vote! Click this link and then click on the big orange button. Voting started June 26 and ends on July 10, which is next Saturday. The voting has been fiercely competitive and I need your votes each day to win and bless the two charitable organizations I am competing for – The Saddleback Church Food Pantry and The Sheepfold.
This is an amazing opportunity to bring essential funds and resources to The Saddleback Church Food Pantry and The Sheepfold Women’s Shelter. The food pantry supports more than 450 families per month and the number is rising in these difficult economic times. The Sheepfold has been helping abused women and their children to turn their lives around for more than thirty years. Both are incredible organizations worthy of everyones support.
Casting your vote for me is easy. Just log on to searschefchallenge.com. Please vote once a day now through July 10th. There is big competition for this challenge, so remember to come back daily to cast your votes and help me raise big donations for charity. Every vote counts, so tell your friends, family and post it on your FaceBook and Twitter accounts!
Competing in the Sears Chef Challenge has been a great experience. Doing all four in-store cooking demonstrations was a blast! I was recently featured in an article in the Orange County Register newspaper talking about the challenge, my background and business. Click here to read the article. I was also interviewed on Restaurant Radio by Dane Neal and Tom Reboletti. What great guys! They were so much fun to talk with. The show is syndicated across America. Here is the link to listen. It takes just a few minutes. Click here to listen to the interview: Restaurant Radio Interview. If you have not seen my cooking video segment with my recipe for Grilled Jalapeno-Mint Shrimp with Hominy Succotash click here. If the link takes you to the general Sears Chef Challenge site and not right to my video, you can click at the right where it says June 5th demo. The recipe is in a previous post.
Please vote each day, once a day, from how ever many emails you have, such as business and personal. Any single emails that look as if they have been entered more than once a day will be removed via validation at the end of the voting period. The four city winners will be announced Monday July 12. Then the winners move on to Chicago for a head-to-head cooking competition. At stake is up to $20,000 in cash donations as well as a full suite of brand new Kenmore kitchen appliances and a $20,000 kitchen makeover.
Thanks for your support everyone! I’m working on posts for pistachio crusted salmon and several people have written and asked for my meatloaf recipe. Will do!
