All hail, our Mario-bound brother

OCTOBER 30, 2008

Jim Webster packs his bag--he's got fresh dry-cleaning, maybe undies and a pair of flame-orange Crocs--and leaves tomorrow at dawn to meet his destiny, plus Mario Batali and Rachael Ray. We live vicariously through him this weekend as he embarks on this new culinary challenge. Tampa's own Top Chef, Iron Chef or Blubbering Awe-Inspired Chef, he goes where no Floridian has gone before him...to cook Pig-Wrapped Pig-Stuffed Pig while entertaining NASCAR fans and Food Network hangers-on.

Webster will blog for us this weekend while not doing shots with Batali or fending off the paparazzi. We wait breathlessly for his first epistle.
