Results from Prostart Competition
The National Restaurant Association announced today the winners of the eighth annual National ProStart Invitational, held April 24- 26, 2009 in San Diego, CA, among a field of more than 300 student competitors from 39 states, territories and districts.
The team from Herndon Career Center in Missouri took home first place in the culinary competition. Olathe North High School of Kansas earned second place honors, and Provo High School of Utah came in third place. In the culinary competition, teams prepared a starter, entrée and dessert within 60 minutes and were judged on categories including taste, presentation, safety, sanitation and teamwork.
In the management competition, Bend High School in Oregon took top honors above second place Lorain County JVS of Ohio. The team from Carson High School in Nevada won third place. Teams demonstrated their knowledge of the restaurant and food service industry by competing in a case study – where competitors were tested on their communication skills and ability to apply their industry knowledge to practical situations – and in a question-and-answer “game show”-style event.
An ardent supporter of ProStart, Guy Fieri helped present the awards, $1.1 million in scholarships, to the winning teams at the Awards Ceremony on Sunday evening. Fieri is a three-term President of the Restaurant Association of the Redwood Empire and serves on the Board of Directors for the Educational Foundation of the California Restaurant Association.

A trio of fans spotted Guy Fieri at the Brewers game in Milwaukee last night (4/27/09) -- club level seating -- and sent in this photo. Here's Fieri with Molly Dudek, Michelle Carpentier and Nikki Fifarek Gulczynski. By the way, score was Milwaukee Brewers 10 - Pittsburgh Pirates 5. (source)

Guy Fieri was born in Columbus, Ohio, but grew up in California. He was in Columbus last week for Sysco Central Ohio's annual expo. (4/21/09), and said there's some truth to the rumor that one of his restaurant chains might expand into central Ohio -- but don't expect anything soon.
"We agreed that we're not going to open any new restaurants for at least 16 months." (source)
While in Ohio, Guy visited family and friends in Bay Village and was seen shopping at Heinen's. "One of the guys shopping with him asked if the store sold rock salt. (In April? Try Chagrin Falls.) Perhaps they were planning some homemade ice cream." (source)

Sad times for a Triple D restaurant
*Update*
The PizzalChik episode is Barbequed, Baked and Brined.
For more information on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, visit my episode guide.

PizzalChik, a restaurant in Boise, ID, was visited by Guy Fieri for Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives just this past March. The air date for this episode has not yet been announced.

Co-owner of PizzalChik, Judy Breakell, had been hospitalized for complications from breast cancer and lost her fight last Friday.
Patrons of the restaurant will remember Judy Breakell for her desserts, including key lime cheesecake. And she will also be remembered as a hard-working mother of four who home schooled her children while putting in 50-hour weeks at the restaurant, said her husband, Brad Breakell. "She was incredibly courageous and versatile," he said.
Breakell, 42, died Friday. An account has been opened at Banner Bank to help defray medical costs the family has incurred. Donations can be made at any branch.
