-It has been confirmed that interest for joining Feast Fest in 2012 has been expressed by culinary master Jiji Shelby, of Midtown Manhattan, NY.
The Feast Fest Scouting Department has been looking for a "sister figure" to FF empress Lynn Avi, someone who could create a "tag-team" between the two, potentially to appeal to the female market so vital to Feast Fest.
They had one possible answer fall right into their hands Friday when Jiji Shelby, a prominent 5-star World chef, inquired to the Scouting Department of the possibilities for making her a Feast Fest chef in 2012.
Avi, the person Shelby would potentially be popularly and reportedly grouped with (although FF has no official two-chef "tag teams"), spoke highly of her, owning Lala, a restaurant just one street down from Shelby's. "Jiji is a good friend of mine and has always been jealous that I get to be a part of Feast Fest... [I'd] absolutely love to [have] her [be a] part of Feast Fest... she's an un[be]lievable master of so ma[ny] culin[ar]y arts... she's mastered some styles I still have y[e]t to learn."
Born in North London, Shelby is of mixed British-African-Indian descent, and has owned and operated the 5-star CHEW! in Manhattan since 2004. She has expressed interest in FF since 2009.
