It is with great pleasure that we will be welcoming Logan Junior Chef, Master Chef Junior Champion, to #FoodTVChat this Thursday, April 30th at 7PM. We are BIG fans of Mater Chef Junior and who can forget the moment when Logan won Season two?
Born and raised in Memphis Tennessee Logan Guleff, aka Logan Junior Chef , began cooking at the age of 2 and won his first cooking competition at age 9. The competition was sponsored by Jif Peanut Butter and Logan had one of the top five most creative peanut butter sandwiches. So creative in fact he appeared on the Today show. It was onward and upward from there!
Logan details his foodie adventures on his blog, appropriately called Order Up! with Logan. He also shares some of his recipes there including one called Sweet Hot and Low Jazz Waffles that sounded so good, we thought we would share it with you here also.
