-Feast Fest chef Joan Ellsly Leavenworth will receive the honor of being the sole chef to participate in the Ceremonial Pie Thawing Wednesday, it was announced late Tuesday.
Leavenworth was chosen from a random computer vote, which takes the names of all 61 chefs and draws a random one. There is no managerial, critical, or powerful influence or input that goes into the drawing.
Leavenworth said she was "elated" when she learned her name had been drawn Tuesday.
The thawing is purely ceremonial, involving merely a chef taking the ceremonial pie out of a refrigerator and placing it into a kitchen floor oven. The thawing was performed by Ai Okoworth in 2010, Peter Dumas in 2009, and Jane Jockell in 2008.
