If you live in the Tri-State region, be sure to tune in this Sunday at 5:00 pm to WNET, Channel 13, to see my fiancée Laura compete on the amateur cooking show MasterChef USA. This program is the American version of a popular British cooking show, both of which are hosted by superstar London chef Gary Rhodes.

For more info on the show, check out:

And for a preview of Laura on the web, go about halfway down this page:

If you don't live in the New York area, check your local listings to see if your PBS station carries MasterChef USA and when. It's episode #203!
