-Marina del Rey, Ca.
-Jumpin' Jimmy had 78, Lynn 76, but the Mason Duo, with NCA point values over the event of 64 and 53 respectively, were the ones taking home the Most Valuable Chef award Thursday.
Avi and McAllister finished third and second but it was the particular culinary spirit of the Mason Duo and their resilience through a Feast Fest strewn with difficulties and mishaps that brought home to them the MVC when everything was said and done.
It marks the first time since 2008 that an MVC winner has not had the most points. In 2009, the Mason Duo split values of 70 and 68, leading the pack, and won, and Jim McAllister led and won the MVC in 2010.
In 2008, Lynn Avi and Lindbergh Merrssff shared the MVC. Avi led with 71 points but Lindy only had 26.
"Points were expected to factor in more with the rehashed formula the critics had for figuring the MVC, but the Mason Duo still pulled through," said Alan Bryn, an analyst.
The lowest point value for an MVC chef came for Johnny Stevenson. When he won MVC in 2005, he had only racked up 24 NCA points over the course of his performance.
