Whats this, he is a former owner also like Adam ? seems something wrong with this picture, must be I had missed that someplace or it was never said, probably the later, since other wise it might be considered a lie and we know what happens to people who work their resumes.

It was mentioned early on, I think in the first episode. Yet the most common way they referred to his past experience was by saying that he was a chef for a hospital kitchen. Which is sorta funny on it's on as hospital food sort of has always had the bad rap that airline food has / had ...

We have a couple of hospitals here that actually aren't bad. The things they make for visitors and staff are far better than what they mass produce for the trays in the rooms.

Is this the same guy whose son ran away right before he went on this show??? I didn't read the link, so I do not know if it was mentioned in there.

I was wondering about his son, too. I didn't see him when Aaron's family embraced him when he won. I wonder if the boy came home or was found.

If it were me.......I'd be home worrying and crying and praying and bugging the daylights out of the police.
