I Interviewed A Top Chef Today

This morning has been an exciting morning for me. I received an email last week that asked if I would like to interview Top Chef Richard Blais for my cooking blog ThisMomCanCook.com. I have to admit that I didn’t respond right away. I waited until my husband woke up to tell him the news. I am one of those “shy” people, so talking to a celebrity is SCARY you could say. Once my husband said go for it, I emailed back and replied with, “Yes, I would LOVE to”.

If you have not heard of Richard, he appeared on BRAVO’s Emmy Award winning serious “Top Chef” and “Top Chef Masters”. He has also appeared on the Food Network’s “Iron Chef America” and “Food”. Check him out on Facebook here.

So this weekend I thought about what I would ask Richard. Yesterday, I got the information with a link needed for my interview and that is when I knew this was for REAL. I clicked the link did NOT work, so I PANIC!  I immediately emailed my contact back to let her know that I was unable to get the link to work. Luckily, last night I decided to change internet connections. My neighbors luckily have a wireless connection that I can borrow, so I tried connecting to theirs and the link worked. With that good news, I was able to go to bed last night knowing I was going to be able to do my interview this morning.

So I wake up this morning at a little after 5am, before my alarm clock goes off and I am NERVOUS. I stayed in bed for a bit, but had to get up by 6am because I had to be prepared and my phone was going to be ringing. See, my interview was scheduled at 6:15am and I had to make sure my computer was on, online and ready to go. You have no idea how nervous I was waiting for the phone to ring that would have the Top Chef Richard Blais on the other end.

Well the interview went well and I will be publishing it on ThisMomCanCook.com this evening…..

I LOVE the opportunities that all into your path when you are a blogger!
