-Morro Bay, Ca.
-The final list has been released for the exhibition here in Morro Bay, which will be starting in about one hour.
The Mason Duo will not be participating, as previously announced, and we now know the names of seven other chefs left out for personal needs, prior commitments, or other reasons:
Pasik
Chu
Wholehreh
J. Rousswick
Styler
Jurrjens
Dreim
It was believed that Stephen Dreim might not be able to participate here at WotW due to his resignation, but his name was kept on the list in hopes that FF would shake up a deal with Dreim in time for him to shoot up the 101 to here in Morro Bay. However, Dreim and Feast Fest are still at odds, so he will not be participating. (Note: Although Dreim has resigned, because Feast Fest is attempting to re-hire him, he is still being included in the chef count of 66. That number will only be lowered to 65 if talks between the two sides break off and Dreim is not re-signed in time for this year's Feast Fest, which is only a month away on Nov. 22.)
In addition, Jawroldy Jurrjens was sidelined by a bout of mononucleosis, which could cause him to sit out Sunday's Edelyn exhibition as well, Jon Chu was detained by "a family crisis" involving "an aging aunt," and Joe Pasik is committed to attending a wedding of a cousin today.
Joan Styler, Jane Rousswick, and Keith Wholehreh had little to no explanations for their dropouts. Ongoing pregnancy is one possible cause for Styler--although she gave no explanation this time around, pregnancy was the listed cause that kept her out of the Sept. 16 Tokyo exhibition.
