Hey Everyone
This is my good buddy Carey with me as I accepted the "Celebrity Chef of the Year" award from Boca Magazine. What a trip! Many thanks to Boca mag for this prestigious honor. The event was held at Chop's Lobster Bar in Boca Raton and the place is just gorgeous.

Everyone there treated me so well and afterward Chuck & I stayed to have dinner at the bar. Thanks to Pat, the sommelier, for sending over a beautiful bottle of Viognier. And thanks to Executive Chef Holger Strutt for stopping by to visit as well.

Sorry the posts aren't more frequent, but these Bravo folks are keeping me very busy between my webisodes, my blog, my morning stints on Telemundo's Cada Dia show, oh yeah, and of course that little thing called the Hi-Life Cafe!

Thanks to all of you who read and comment on my blogs. I am having a blast with all of these projects. Also have a potential deal in the works that I can't wait to share with you soon.

Finally, we will be having a 6 course "Summer of Love" wine dinner at Hi-Life on August 23rd featuring wines from the San Francisco Wine Exchange and Paul Moe to talk about the wines and their makers. You can check out the full menu with paired wines at www.hilifecafe.com/specials . Hope you are having a great Summer and staying cool.

As always, break an egg and stay tuned...
