Table Talk » PCN Personal Chef of the Year

Wow! My fellow personal chefs at Personal Chefs Network honored me with the 2007 Golden Whisk Award for Personal Chef of the Year.

The award was announced last week at the end of the PCN convention. Since we didn't go to the convention, some of my local PCN buddies and I got together for lunch on the last day of the convention. We were finishing up our lunch when Sharon Worster, the CEO of PCN, called me to tell me that I was the PCN Personal Chef of the Year. I was speechless. My friends made so much of a commotion that that everyone in the dining room wanted to know what was going on. Since I couldn't be at the convention this year, it was wonderful to share this moment with my PCN buddies. It really hasn't completely sunken in. My prize, a red Artisan stand mixer, arrived today. It screams "you're a winner!" There's a plaque on the way too. It will hang in my office next to my 2005 Golden Whisk Award for New Personal Chef of the Year.

I'm blessed to be part of such a great organization. PCN has been with me through all the ups and downs of my business. The cooking is the easy part of running a personal chef service. I'm sure that I wouldn't be in business if it weren't for what I have learned and shared with colleagues. They bring out the best in me. This is a solitary business. PCN truly encourages collaboration among its members. By helping each other, we help ourselves.
