Chefs' Conference




I just returned from Orlando, Florida, where I was on assignment for my daytime job: I was attending the American Culinary Federation's National Convention.

Over the weekend, I'll post pictures of chefs cooking food, eating food and other cool food photos.

Happy Eating! Mr. Foodie
