Gourmet Magazine, September 2007

I just got my latest issue of Gourmet. Of course, my first inclination was to check for any updates on the Scoop contest. On page 22 of the issue is another ad for Gourmet/Scoop. Here's the latest blurb:

"The competition continues as the three finalists -- Christine Hanusi, Ken Wan, and Leslie Zoerb -- fly to California to see their flavor dream turn into a reality. With the help of Gourmet Executive Chef Sara Moulton and our panel of flavor experts, the contestants ferfect their ice cream vision in the Häagen-Dazs® ice cream flavor labs.

TUNE IN TO "GOOD MORNING AMERICA" ON SEPTEMBER 21, WHEN SARA MOULTON REVEALS THE WINNER ON LIVE TELEVISION!"

So there it is, the "public" announcement that the winner will be announce on September 21. But, you already knew that from my post on 7/29/07. Well, I will be roaming the Yucatan peninsula in search of the finest ingredients for Coco y Cacao. :-) They'll have to fly me out from Tulum, straight to NYC. Perfect, huh? And luckily, it sounds like the damage from Hurricane Dean wasn't too bad in Tulum. I haven't heard much about the rest of the Yucatan, but it didn't seem too bad. Or, maybe because it isn't the good 'ol US of A, we don't hear much about it.
