-Marina del Rey, CA
-It was revealed late Friday that Lindbergh Merrssff, legendary Feast Fest chef from its 1995 origins until 2008 and current Head of the Feast Fest NCA Inspection Department, has received an offer to move up to a higher position beginning in 2012.
Merrssff could become one of three advisers to Event Mgr. William Vanderbilt. One of these advisers, John Johnby, will be retiring after the 2011 event.
Merrssff said he would "consider" the offer. He told reporters, "I would be more than happy to move up to this position, but it requires more strength than my current and I would need to evaluate whether or not I would have the energy for it," said the 75-year-old Merrssff.
Vanderbilt hand-picked Merrssff as a candidate to fill the soon-vacant slot. "Lindy gets how everything works around here, he's very wise from both culinary and business standpoints; you can't pull a fast one on him, and that's exactly the type of adviser I need." He added, "I'd be excited to have the two of us working side by side."
