Foster to Return to Mich. Restaurant Briefly

- Marina del Rey, Calif.
- Sophomore Feast Fest chef Germaine Foster was spotted leaving Marina del Rey and the Beachview Resort temporarily Saturday evening, a source reported, and would not return to the ten-day preparation and practice session preceding Feast Fest until at least Monday, that source said.

Foster's head-cheffed restaurant, the Swaling Rock Inn in Isle Royale, Mich., suffered a severe kitchen fire on Friday under the guidance of one of Foster's assistant head chefs who had been tasked with manning the four-star eatery while Foster was away for Feast Fest.

A spokesperson for the Austrian, who pleasantly surprised as a rookie in 2014 by landing a sextuple flip in a practice and then going on to post 36 NCA points on Thanksgiving, said that Foster "would definitely not miss" the Mock Dress Rehearsal Feast Fest on Tuesday.
