| F1 Korean Grand Prix gamely prepares for third run this weekend Posted: 10 Oct 2012 04:06 PM PDT by CNNGo staff South Korea has been hosting the F1 Korea Grand Prix for two years now, and this year's Formula One event, the 16th F1 race of the 2012 season, will begin on Friday, October 12. Two years may be still too young for veteran status, perhaps, but old enough to be judged. Press and public opinion have not been kind to the first two years of the Korea Grand Prix, with criticisms leveled at everything from the location of the Korea International Circuit -- in Yeongam, a neglected southwest corner of the peninsula -- to lack of overall preparation. The rough 2010 debut was marked by an incomplete circuit and prolonged delays due to the pouring rain. Local media criticized the lack of infrastructure, often citing the fact that BBC sports presenter Jake Humphrey slept in a love motel during the event. (Although Humphrey writes enthusiastically of his enjoyable time at the F1 in Japan on his blog, he is markedly silent about Yeongam). read more |

The G9 chefs were chosen by Ferran Adria, of the now-defunct, triple-Michelin-starred Spanish restaurant elBulli, and the group had been scheduled to give a presentation on the topic of gastronomy and social responsibility.

After last year's G9 meeting, in Lima, Peru, a scathing piece by British food writer Jay Rayner described the group's mission statement, entitled "Open letter to the chefs of tomorrow," as "an act of ... such ludicrous self-regard you'd need an oxygen tank to get your breath back." That pronouncement delivered a satisfying dose of schadenfreude to those exasperated by the cult of the celebrity chef. read more |

While I was attending a gathering of the world's top chefs at the "G9 World Summit of Gastronomy" in Tokyo in September, at least half a dozen strangers asked me to photograph them next to their favorite star chefs.| You are subscribed to email updates from CNNGo.com To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
