That’s right. We have a winner – actually, make that winners! Congratulations to Kimber Hoang from Magenta Restaurant and to Peter S. Del Cotto from Trocaire College, for winning the ChefUniforms.com contest for an all-expense paid trip to the 2011 National Restaurant Show in Chicago, IL!

We were able to catch these two lucky winners and ask them a few questions about themselves and how they won.  Their answers will be posted shortly, so be sure to keep an eye out for the next two posts.

And if you do make it out to the show this year, be sure to stop by our booth (#1904) and say hi!

Don’t forget – contestants, family, friends, and loyal readers – that all this fun was brought to you by ChefUniforms.com!

Who Do You Relate To?

by on April 19, 2011 in General Chef Talk

We often associate ourselves with those who inspired us to become who we are today. Sometimes, those associations are with celebrities. We tend to pick out a certain “celeb” in our own industry who reminds us a little of ourselves, whether it be by personality, by looks, or by some other distinguishable trait. Why do we do this? Beats me! But it’s fun to find out what people think about themselves and the celebrities they admire. So, the question remains…

Which of these famous chefs do you relate to the most and why? Leave us your comments, but remember to keep it PG!

1.  Chef Gordon Ramsay         2.  Chef Paula Deen          3.  Chef Rachael Ray

           

4.  Chef Emeril Lagasse         5.    Chef Bobby Flay         6.  The Swedish Chef

           

Can’t relate to any of these chefs? Who else do you associate with? We want to know!

ChefUniforms.com Contest…Let The Voting Begin!

by on April 4, 2011 in Chef Uniforms, Food Events, General Chef Talk, Recipes

As you probably already know (since this is our third blog post on this topic), today is the first day of voting for the ChefUniforms.com Contest contestants!

What you may not already know is that the contestants need your help to win. It is your choice who you think deserves to win an all-expense paid trip to the 2011 NRA Show in Chicago, Illinois! So go to our voting page, choose your favorite culinary professional or culinary student, and get your vote on!

These individuals have worked their fingers to the bone (probably a chicken bone), in order to become great culinary professionals. They work (or study, for those who are students) their you-know-whats off in order to prepare the best meals for their customers (or professors), and are now awaiting their adoring public’s votes. Every vote counts, so if you’re one of the contestants, don’t forget to vote for yourself! And remember: only one vote per person is allowed!

Now get out there, vote and spread the word!
