Food & Wine Best New Chef 2010

Published in Widowism by chefswidow

WARNING! The below video is raw. I am a major sap.

They are happy tears, make no mistake. I am the proudest woman alive. You get to witness my elation!

Moments after I heard the news…please excuse my silly sobbing & abrasive appearance. I was lounging when I heard the news and had no time for a costume change. I mearly wanted to remember the moment forever.

Tonight my husband, the Chef, won Food & Wine Best New Chef 2010. I’ve known for weeks and couldn’t say a word (one reason I stopped drinking, loose lips…) I am beyond proud and I want to express my love and gratitude right now, but, the Chef is giving me death eyes because we are totally late for the FWBNC after party. More tomorrow loves…xoxoxoxoxo kisses hugs love.

[...] thanks to F&W editor Dana Cowin, who was dropping hints via Twitter (like Midwestern eco-home). Amelia, the other half of team Sawyer, shared awhile ago that they’d have good news to share soon, [...]

Congratulations, again…and again. Now the world can recognize what Cleveland already did. And I totally know who I can trust for secret-keeping!

You guys were more than amazing years ago, and I’m so glad you are enjoying so much success. I should have got an autograph at the wedding, I think I might have a signed contract around here somewhere…..CONGRATS! Really, that’s awesome!!!

Amazing! You should be so proud. I’m proud to be a Clevelander and GHT lover!

Congrats Chef Sawyer! Cleveland is a food town, hands down..actually, wave your hands in the air wildly for the great chefs in town!

CONGRATS!!! I’m so excited for you guys! Your video is so sweet

You should have put up a warning that the video was gonna make ME cry too!!

But CONGRATS to you both!!! I know it’s not easy being w/ someone “in the industry”, much less running the restaurant entirely & all the other chef-stuff, plus having the genius kids too. I’m sure you must feel so overwhelmed at times, but moments like this make it SO WORTH IT!

Mucho congratulations to you all!
