    4. Local foodie, chef and bible cook book author Stephanie Alexander.
    5. Met and they were all great; Lee, Victor, Marcellus, James, Grace, Marie, Helena, Jenny, Terry and I just know I've left someone out. Met a woman from Texas and that didn't work out so well. The only ones who still blog are Marie, James and Marcellus(rarely).
