What have I gotten myself into?

I was midway through writing my latest Top Chef post (which originally started as 15 minutes worth of random thoughts, and has grown into this long friggin' thing...)

Anyway, I just got a call that I'm "in" for the competition at the Public Market. See post below. I'm petrified.

Want to know what happens to me when I get really nervous? I get tired. Isn't that weird? I can barely keep my eyes open. I should be downstairs perfecting vinaigrettes or memorizing recipes but I'm going to bed.

I am a recipe cook -- and not a terribly creative one at that -- so I expect to crash and burn. But it could be an interesting blog entry! Stay tuned!
