Congratulations to the winner of the MasterChef trip! Al Stenta of Lutz just won this fantastic trip to the Big Apple, which includes round-trip airfare and deluxe hotel accommodations. Al will dine at the restaurant of MasterChef judge Joe Bastianich! Gordon Ramsay takes the new season of MasterChef to the next level.  Winning is no piece of cake and the competition is going to get messy.  The two-night premiere begins tonight at 8pm only on Fox 13. 

I had a nice weekend in Kelly’s Kitchen, working with a new recipe for Strawberry Pound Cake, thanks to Val in the office who had a large bag of strawberries she offered to me. Let's just say YUM! Yes, a rousing success and I'll be sharing with my friends at Magic 94.9, and you of course if you log on to www.allrecipes.com and type in Strawberry Pound cake.  Now know I can find my sweet delights at Sweetbay all the time. But what I'd like to know from all my food friends is where you think the best places in Tampa Bay are to satisfy your craving?  Tell me where Kelly's Kitchen should make a visit; I'd love to drop by that little place where everyone goes and just can't leave without one more cookie, or donut...or latte! Let's share the sugary wealth with the rest of the class! You can send me your favs at 949comments@coxtampa.com. I'll be happy to report back and let the world know what a world class confectionary capital we are here in Tampa Bay! And tell you what; for everyone that sends me a suggestion, I'll choose one at random, and you'll win a $50 gift card to Frida's Cafe and Bakery on Ulmerton Road in Largo! Just send those to 949comments@coxtampa.com by Friday. Good luck!

Stay logged on to Kelly's Kitchen; we're going to be looking for some special Father's Day photos to win a World's Greatest Dad Prize pack that will have, among other things, a special set of Tervis Tumblers! More on that soon. Have a delicious day!
