-New York
-Head Sous-Chef Lynn Avi will be scratched from the Edelyn Cooking Arena Exhibition in Punta Gorda, Fla., on Monday, having given birth to her second son and third child in New York City on Thursday. The question is whether or not the birth, which came late and was originally slated for Oct. 19, will also impact her appearance at the final exhibition before Feast Fest, at Windows on the Water in Morro Bay on Sun., Nov. 3.
A statement from Avi's spokesperson read Friday: "Ms. Avi is obviously aware of the importance of these two final exhibitions to a successful Feast Fest, and she will make every effort to appear in Morro Bay on Nov. 3. However, until the physical condition of both Ms. Avi and her infant have been positively identified and cleared, a decision regarding Morro Bay has not been made at this time. What we do know is that it would be asking too much of Ms. Avi to expect her to perform at Edelyn on Sunday, three days removed from a birth."
The spokesperson said that "what is most important is that Avi appear at Feast Fest itself, and at this time there are no foreseeable impediments to that." Feast Fest is on Nov. 28, leaving about a month of time for Avi to recover from the birth if she skips both exhibitions.
Avi tweeted Friday morning, "My focus is on #FeastFest and will continue to be, but if I can't make #wotw everyone I hope will understand."
