-Punta Gorda, Fla.
-Former Feast Fest fixture Marc Monde told chefs and FF fans that "they should not expect" his son, Aleck Monde, making his FF debut at tonight's exhibition, "to be [him]."
"I want everyone to know that my son will shine the most if you just let him use his own methods and styles. I don't want you to expect him to be just like me, because he has a different style, and if you put those heavy expectations on him he'll falter," Monde said. "If you let Aleck relax and be himself out on the floor you'll see that you have a very masterful chef on your hands, even if he isn't a perfect copy of myself."
Aleck Monde called it "relieving" that his father warned FFers that he would not be a carbon copy of Marc, saying, "It will give me more breathing room out on the floor."
The final exhibition before Feast Fest on Thanksgiving is tonight at Edelyn Cooking Arena in Punta Gorda, Fla., beginning at 7 p.m. Eastern/4 p.m. Pacific.
