The Chefs

Chelsea: Born and raised in the Midwest, brought up on hearty meals and fed by none other than THE Mary Crocker Barnes (haven't heard of her? She's famous. Check out her blog at www.marycrockerbarnes.blogspot.com) I grew up with a love of food. In fact, an ankle injury in high school led my doctor to ask my mom if I was eating enough. She laughed and told the doctor that I eat like a truck driver. I'm not a natural talent in the kitchen, but my love of eating has kept my perseverance strong. Favorite foods: Zucchini, red peppers and parmesan cheese. 

Edwin - Born and raised in Houston, TX by Salvadoran parents and my grandma. My culinary training began when I was 8. My grandma really didn't like when I bothered her around lunch time (which happened to be when her favorite soap opera aired) so she taught me how to cook so I'd be more independent and so she could watch her shows uninterrupted. Other experience has come from my love of grilling, cooking with beer, living with a roommate who had weird eating hours (and eating habits... yes I'm talking about you Ross), embracing the food from El Salvador, and Chelsea. My favorite foods include fajitas, pizza, fajita pizzas, cheese, and cheese.

Rumored cameos will come from Chelsea's roommate Lydie Miller who makes mouth watering fish tacos, Edwin's roommate Miles Rooklyn, a Hipster extraordinaire who has a knack for cooking oriental food and organic products, and Hannah Banana who makes colorful salads.
