White Meat Monday Hero: Tom Colicchio


Not only is he everyone's favorite PapaBear Top Chef judge - Tom Colicchio is a true hero. Joan Nathan, a cookbook author, found herself choking on a piece of chicken at an Inaugural dinner party recently. Luckily, Colicchio was standing beside her and applied the Heimlich maneuver - thus saving her life. Read the entire story HERE.

I wonder if Chef Tom accused Nathan of not "honoring the protein" after choking on it??


Thanks to Kayce for the tip.

    oh, le sigh, my hero!
    And, chef, your comments are hilarious!

    You can do the Heimlich on yourself. My brother did, when he was all alone, and choking. Whatever it was popped right out.

    Frogponder -

    If the Republicans have taught us anything, it is the fact that being married is NOT a factor when determining which gender someone has sex with.

    I don't think The Engineer would let me keep him if I brought him home, maybe for the cooking...
