Today I went to Young Chefs Academy. It was called the "Best of the Best Camps". We made six recipes from Baton Rouge area restaurants. While I was there I made a Wendy's frosty,I made some Olive Garden breadsticks, and made some Great American Cookie Company snickerdoodles. It is a cookie. I had a great time. I also made a cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. I'm going tomorrow to taste it because it had to cool down.

Hey everybody I went to the Palace Cafe in New Orleans this weekend. It's owned by Mr.Dickie Brennan. He took us in his restaurant's kitchen. It was really cool!

I started out with marinated crab claws. It had a good spice & was a little tangy. Next they brought us a treat of crawfish bread. It had a creamy sauce and crawfish. For my entree, I had a New York strip & shrimp. It had a demi glace on it that took 2 days to cook :).It was seared to a perfect medium rare with tasty shrimp on the side.

I'd also like to thank my server's : Jamie Jo, Nancy, & Kathy. Special thanks to all the people who cooked the wonderful meal.

I'd like to thank WAFB and Chef Folse for picking me to be on television. It was a lot fun hanging out with Chef John Folse and Mr. Paul Gates. I'd also like to thank Ms. Amanda for coordinating it all. It was a blast. :)

Hey! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while.

Camp was good, and the food was great. I had a lot of fun! After camp we went diamond hunting. We found some minerals but no diamonds. We went to a restaurant called Buddys. My server's name was Becca. She was great.

When I got back my Dad and I cooked a crawfish bisque for the 4th of July. We used John Folse's cookbook. I stuffed the heads!

Speaking about John Folse, I'm going to cook with him tomorrow (Thurs.) on T.V!!! It will be on channel 9 WAFB at 5 0'clock. I also got a black chef's coat that has "jrfoodcritic" written in white that I'm going to wear on T.V. Don't forget to watch!

One last thing, I found another place kids can eat free. It is on Monday's at Off the Hook seafoood on Airline Hwy. in Baton Rouge.

That's all for now blog later! Bye :)

Hey everybody sorry I haven't blogged in a couple of month's. Next week I'm going to camp in Arkansas. I'll let you know how the food was when I get back!

Last Saturday I went to Coyote Blues. My waitress was Beth. She was really nice. My dish was chicken fajitas. It was really good. It came on a big tower dish. It was smoking (litarlly). P.S. It is really hot so watch out! The restaurant was really big and a little loud.


See you next time. Happy eating! :)

This weekened I turned 10. I had my first porterhouse steak. It tasted very good. My dad cooked it. It's temperature was good. Did ya'll see me in the paper? Just checking, it was exciting!



Blog later,
Bye
