Chef Wanted with Anne Burrell: Cincinnati OR So Cal??

Hey! Thanks for visiting. If you like what you see here, I'd love to invite you over to the Smart Money Mom Facebook Page . I post updates instantly there often--so you never miss a thing! Thanks for visiting!

 

I mentioned several weeks ago that my husband was going to be on the Chef Wanted with Anne Burrell. Tomorrow (3/28) will be the premiere of his show. If you haven’t watched the previous shows–The idea behind Chef Wanted to help popular restaurants find a new Executive Chef. Anne Burrell finds candidates and puts them through the “toughest interview” of their life.

Lets Rewind….

Six months ago my husband George was looking for something new. As a chef you must constantly grow– it isn’t abnormal for a chef to spend a year or two at one place and move onto the next. While he was “looking” he wasn’t expecting to have the Food Network look at his resume.

Long story short… It has been a LONG 4 months that I’ve wanted to talk about this. Now that the show will be airing tomorrow I can finally tell you all that its possible that we COULD be moving to Cincinnati!

I am so proud of my husband and would love your support in cheering him on! Hope you will all tune in tomorrow at 10pm EST on the Food Network.!

    How exciting for you and your family. How sad for us. What will happen to southern cali saver (I just love your site)? I’ve been watching the show and paying attention to the chef’s names to make sure I didn’t miss it.

    So exciting! Congrats! Even though I don’t “know you” personally, I am a HUGE fan of your website, and so grateful for all that you do to help find daily deals! Congrats to your husband…and either way the show goes, I hope it is the best and most exciting for your family!! We don’t have cable (just another way my family saves!) so I won’t be able to tune in–but know that you have all my cheers! Many blessings! ~ a faithful fan!

    I’m from Cincinnati. If you do go there you’ll love it. Very family friendly and much cheaper than SoCal

    Super excited for you and your family. Like everyone else, I’ll be pretty lost without you, but understand that changes are necessary in life. Perhaps you can teach me how to do what you do and I can keep this site going! 🙂 Best wishes from Torrance.

    I wish you nothing but the best for you and your family. When I retired I wondered how I was going to make ends meet and then I discovered YOU! You have been a life saver and have helped me to stretch my retirement dollars. I have told all who would listen about “Southern Cali Saver” and how you have helped me save tons of money! Even though you have “taught me well” you will be sorely missed. Good luck.

    I was rooting for your hubby last nighr. I stayed up and watched the show that I had prerecorded. You look amazing in the photo displayed on TV last night! Your hubby was great. I’m sorry it didn’t work out for him, but hopefully the right door will be opened for him now! There are a LOT of Southern Cali’s that are thrilled you will be staying here. (Hopefully?)

    Was on pins and needles yesterday!!! Watched it last night & was rooting for George (& your family). Was actually SHOCKED when he didn’t win. His service went more smoothly and they even commented on his depth. God has something better in store for your family…. Hopefully right here in SoCal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, felt bad for your hubby as he spoke of his Mother’s passing & how she inspired him to become a Chef. Our condolences. For sure she was a wonderful woman, who supported and encouraged her son’s dream.

    Thanks for all you do!! You’re a blessing! 😉
