-The 2011 Feast Fest Guest of Honor, for whom the Ceremonial First Turkey is cooked and dedicated, will be Feast Fest legend Lindbergh Merrssff, said Executive Official Rita Willy midday Saturday.
"Lindbergh Merrssff will be our 2011 Guest of Honor, I am ecstatic and honored to report," Willy told reporters Saturday.
The Guest of Honor is usually a local celebrity, but Lindbergh Merrssff was chosen in honor of his 75th birthday. Former chefs or culinary noted names are chosen in place of local celebrities in the event of such significant events.
It is the first time since 2004 that a former chef has been the Guest of Honor. That year, the Ceremonial First Turkey was chowed down on by Kenneth Bastilion, and in 2002, L.A. Wild owners Jan and Suzy Jenkins served as Guests of Honor.
