-New York
-It wasn't a total sweep like last year, but three Feast Fest chefs podiums in the top 5 for the NCA's 2013 "Best European" honor, and Alue-Charlote Ste-Germaine Melling won it all with 31% of the vote, down from 32% last year.
Tony Ruscoso had 4.4% of the vote at third place, and Andruw Stephan garnered 3.6% of the vote for fifth. Lynn Avi, who has placed in the top 5 for Best European for the past five years, was just denied a sixth straight podium, placing in sixth place with 3.4% of the vote.
"We may not have swept it like last year, but to have 3 of 5 feels amazing," Event Mgr. William Vanderbilt said.
Melling tweeted, "So proud to have won #NCABestEuropean yet AGAIN! Thanks to ALL who have supported me!"
November is the official month for the NCA to give out its annual awards. The NCA released the results of three awards yesterday, the first day of November, but no Feast Fest chefs podiumed in them.
Melling is also a contender for the NCA's "Best French" award, the results of which are scheduled to be released on Monday.
