Last night I was lucky enough to attend the screening party of a new pilot, A Plate Apart at Kendall College.

It is a wonderful new concept and show bridging the always exciting Top Chef style cooking challenges with deserving culinary students working their way through school, hoping to gain an apprenticeship with the talented Michael Kornick and fabulous executive chef Erick Williams at one of my personal Chicago favorites – MK.

They were naturals on screen – so focused on bringing to light our great city of Chicago, pairing talented students deserving a fantastic career to match their deep seeded passions for cooking, and absolutely should have their own television show.

Good luck to A Plate Apart!
