McCovey Awards: Outstanding Newcomer
Here we gooooooo! The first round of our McCovey awards voting. We will begin with the voting of the new folks. The people in the poll can attempt to make a case for themselves. It sometimes helps (but not really).
Because I forgot to add say hey nation to the poll, make a vote for him in your comment, and I'll count those.
So with that, Allez cuisine!

This FanPost is reader-generated, and it does not necessarily reflect the views of McCovey Chronicles. If the author uses filler to achieve the minimum word requirement, a moderator may edit the FanPost for his or her own amusement.

The first four I think they were decided this way:
Morimoto – Origianl Iron Chef from the Japanese version, was kicked off the original show after losing 3 back to back battles to a culinary school that wanted him out for some reason. Also was not an original for the American show, he battled Wolfgang Puck in the pilot who was supposed to be the Iron Chef. Puck won but when the show got picked up did not stay with the show.
Bobby Flay – Participant in original Iron Chef Show, record 1-1. Lost his first battle then challenged to a rematch. Also an interesting story about standing on cutting boards. Go check his Wikipedia for the details or something.
Mario Batalli – Dunno if he was on the Original Show, but easily one of the best chefs in America. He has the best Win percentage at 84% (21-4) on the show.
Dunno how Cat Cora got into the show. She is the only (Current) female Iron Chef and the only one in its history, including the Japanese Show

I am definitely not well informed...
Specifically about women. Although, since they aren’t on the internet, and that’s where I get almost all my information (that, and a drunk guy named Robert…occasionally Bobbo, never Bob), it’s easily explainable.

So I’ve been reading MCC for a few months now, and I want to use my first post to thank everybody for the entertainment it has provided me. Many a time have I been given a weird look in my cube due to a guffaw from one of the gameday thread images and many a time the digressions into lunch, reading choices and obscure quizzes have made my work day tolerable.
That said, I would like to announce my candidacy for newcomer of the year next year and hope that I can provide you the same inane joy that you have provided me. Also, GINATS BRASZ get it together

While English isn’t technically my first language, it’s not like I just picked it up. I had private lessons for a few years (ages 7-10 I think, or something like that), and it’s also taught at schools. And Isreal isn’t exactly France – most Israelis speak English at least reasonably well.
I don’t think I’m very good with languages, actually. Especially with accents. It’s a good thing you can’t hear it over the interwebs.
