COMPETITION: World Seafood Championship
QUALIFYING EVENT: World Seafood Championship
I am a firefighter/paramedic and I work for the Broward Sheriff's Office Fire Rescue Department. I am assigned to the Bureau of Fire Prevention doing Fire Inspections and Fire/ Arson Investigations. I'm ready to turn up the heat. Hopefully there will be no fires while I am gone! My inspiration : #1 is my sister, Jodi "The Bacon Babe" Taffel. She inspires me in every way. #2 A Chef I worked for in college turned me on to fine food and wine a long time ago. Although I never went to culinary shool, Chef DiVittorio started me on a wonderful path of food exploration and enjoyment. Huge thanks to JUST A PINCH for awarding one of my favorite dishes a Blue Ribbon which got me here in the first place. Watch out Chefs, there are TWO TAFFELS in TOWN!
