RedEye, Rick Bayless and Virtual Kitchen Stadium on WGN!
At the WGN studios. From left: Joelen Tan, the Virtual Kitchen Stadium winner, Scott Kleinberg, RedEye's print and digital editor, Steph Yiu, RedEye's web editor, Dorothy Hernandez, RedEye's Munch Time host, Rick Bayless, Top Chef Masters finalist and Executive Chef and owner Frontera Grill and Topolobampo, and Tom Barnas, WGN segment coordinator.
Oh boy, did RedEye Munch Time have an awesome time at WGN today! Hit the jump to see the video, and more behind-the-scenes shots. All I can say is, virtual or not, Joelen's food really does rock, and Rick Bayless is a superstar.
Joelen with her parents before the WGN segment. She was a total pro when it came to preparing food for TV.
Finally, they meet in person! Virtual Kitchen Stadium hostess Dorothy Hernandez and chef-testant Joelen Tan hit it off right from the start.
WGN's weatherman, Tom Skilling, smells the delicious food and walks by to say hi.
So naturally, we had to ask for a photograph!
Joelen meets Rick Bayless... and tells him about her "Rick Bayless" themed potluck coming up...
Being interviewed on air!
Congratulations to our Virtual Kitchen Stadium winner, Joelen!
