The Traveling Epicurean

Favorite Chef Count Down!

Wow! ❤️

I’m overwhelmed by all the support and generous voting. I truly appreciate every single vote. It all counts!

The Top 10 round ends Thursday, and I’m currently sitting in 3rd place in my group, which puts me in a strong position to advance to the Top 5.

Once that round begins, I’ll need to make a run for 1st place to continue moving forward in the competition.

Please keep sharing my voting link and helping me build momentum for the next round.
