watch the video, decide for yourself.
UPDATE: join this blog in a hearty “whew.”
UPDATE: forget “whew.” james hoffmann is the new world champeen. this should come with added burdens of disclosure and responsibility, no? mad props to the mad foodie.

Looks like I will have to ‘fess up now….
two words: woo. hoo.
Just gotten back to the hotel, and am really quite inebriated. All is good. It still feels like I somehow must have cheated to win this – I Have never been more surprised or delighted.
Thanks for the support. Promise to explain my secretive shenanigens soon….
no, james. thank you. it’s hard for me to imagine a world champion more humble, accessible, engaging and good-humored. your win means good things for the masses, as well as hangers-on like me. salubrious felicitations.
