-New York
-The NCA today awarded Feast Fest Co-Head Chef Jim McAllister with its 2013 NCA's Most Determined honor. Lynn Avi also podiumed at second place.
The members of the Mason Duo just missed podiuming for what would have been their third time, finishing 7th and 8th, respectively, in the voting.
McAllister won 14.4% of the vote for his second Most Determined bestowment, following a win in the Most Determined Category in 2009. McAllister also podiumed in 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2010.
Avi won the award in 2008, 2010, and 2011 and podiumed in 2012.
"We are absolutely tickled pink that Mr. McAllister and Ms. Avi, two of our most esteemed chefs, have been able to bring this honor home to Feast Fest yet again," said Event Mgr. William Vanderbilt in a statement. "They certainly embody all of the qualities of only the purest and finest forms of determination in their drive to make Feast Fest one of the world's preeminent culinary institutions and in their quest to thrust Feast Fest toward its golden goal of a 100.0 NCA rating."
McAllister himself said he was "feeling incredible."
Avi had apparently not yet been notified of her honor at press time. Feast Fest officials were working on reaching her New York residence to deliver the happy news.
