“I’m shocked. I competed some years ago and got second place back in the third Annual Great American Seafood Cook-Off in 2006, so I can’t believe I’m here right now.

We don’t have it locally in Tennessee obviously but the fact that we can get it locally and do something special with it is what matters most.”
