Chefs of the Fest

San Diego Bay Wine and Food Festival Kicks Off
There was a little pressure since Harney Sushi won first place in 2009.
“A lot of hard work and forethought went into this year’s win,” said Chef Robert Ruiz. “I had the Festival on my mind when we won last year. I knew I’d be up next for the title and I had to take it to another level. Chef Sinsay’s vegetarian dish won last year, so slow braised beef seemed irresistible.”
The top 10 finalists and category winners were chosen by a panel of judges who graded each restaurant with a point system including scores for presentation, flavor, innovation, quality of product, and preparation in the allotted time.
The “Chef of the Fest” winners were awarded a combined $50,000 worth in cash and prizes. During the Celebrity Chef Luncheon, held at Roy’s Restaurant on Sunday, November 21, Chef Robert Ruiz took home a prize package that included $2,000, a vacation package to Las Vegas, a set of Bridgestone tires and inclusion in next year's festival as a headliner.

RIP DANNY TURNER

We lost a founding TU Legionnaire today. Danny Turner will forever be apart of the The T*U family and missed greatly. Danny was the first ever FMX rider for Triumph United and has stuck with me through every company I have done. XYZ Clothing, Osiris, Throwdown and Triumph United. Never to back down, Danny was built for speed and scared of nothing. He lost his battle with cancer today but will never be forgotten. - HANS T*U

“There are a number MMA consumer shows for fans who want autographs and t-shirts, but Fight Summit is the first true industry trade show and conference, where businesses in the MMA community can come together, network, learn from each other, and learn the top techniques of their trade. MMA is a fast-growing, national industry that requires a high-level conference and expo to help its tens of thousands of professionals to grow their businesses and advance their careers,” explains FIGHT SUMMIT Manager Mike Hauben. “FIGHT SUMMIT is that conference.”

FIGHT SUMMIT’s inaugural event offers great “Early Bird” attendee registration prices between $150 and $300 and offering incredibly affordable room rates at the Flamingo at $39 per night, which is unheard of for a major hotel right on the Vegas strip.”

The FIGHT SUMMIT floor plan will bring together the full conference and expo in one centralized location, with workshops running throughout all three show days, and the expo floor open throughout all event hours.
