The Unexpected Encounter: Meeting Chef Chris on Our Journey to the Conference

In summary, Ginger and her consultant friends spot Chef Chris in the airport and are thrilled to meet him. They chat with him and he seems to be friendly. However, when they try to get a picture with him, he walks past them without saying anything. They later find out that he was too thin and had heard their comments.

First, notice the new avatar?!?!?!?

Here it goes........

Our flight was delayed an hour. Which was good since we were running late. Got some gifts for roomies and proceeded to security. You know, where you have to just about strip to nothing? So, I hear this voice that sounds incredibly familiar. And he looks like someone I know, from PC, but nah it couldn't be. So I turn to my Consultant who went to NC with me, and say, "Doesn't he look like Chef Chris?" And yes, I'm talking about OUR Chef Chris. She's like "No!" Besides, keep in mind we flew from DC, what would OUR Chef Chris be doing in DC, right?

So we proceed thru the terminal and grab a snack at sit at a table. Then I notice another consultant from my Director's cluster (the Consultant is hospitality). So I go and grab her and one of her downline to join us. So, we are all sitting and chatting.

THEN, I notice this SAME man sitting at the table right next to us. And I ask the other Consultants the same thing. Doesn't he look like Chef Chris? Noooooo. And get this, the one says, "He's too thin". But I'm like, "I'm telling you, I think it's him! I heard his voice and he sounds just like him".

So, we board the plane and get to O'hare. As we are walking to the baggage claim. THE man walks past us, and says "Have a nice conference Ladies". We all just stop and stare. OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!! :eek::eek::eek:

So,needless to say we get our picture with him.

But then, we start replaying our conversation in the other airport. Did someone really say that he was too thin?!?!? Did he hear that?!?!? Oh, so embarrassing!!!

oh, and sorry for the delay Becky!! Took me awhile to get the picture right. New camera, and I had operator error issues!:eek:
 
AMY!

That is such a great picture - and now, everyone here will be sooooo jealous of you!

I still keep laughing to myself when I think of it!

And for the rest of you - it's even better when Amy can tell it with all of the accompanied hand motions and facial expressions. She is even sweeter, cuter, and funnier in real life than she is here on CS!
 
PICTURES of the hottie please....


I am so jealous of ya'all! (and yeah...I hope he didn't hear the too thin comment!!)
 
What I meant to say is...I can't see you both clearly in your avi! Can you crop it and make it closer, or post the full page pic?

Awww shucks, Becky!! I'm blushing and grinning ear to ear!!

And yes, I bet it is funnier in real life when you can hear how giddy I was about it. I'm sure Chef Chris is laughing too about this maniac woman bull rushing him the airport for a photo yelling, "I told you it was him!! I told you it was him". Oh, so embarrassing. :eek::yuck:

But oh so worth it!!!:D

I agree completely about the real life telling; Amy is hilarious! And I was behind her at the general session when she took the stage picture to show her husband "proof;" that was so funny! It was awesome meeting everyone in person - it made my first conference even better!

And it was so much fun getting to know you Kathy! It's fun knowing that my extended cluster are also my friends even though we are in different time zones!

I heard "I love Rock n Roll" yesterday on a loudspeaker at a car show....and started laughing. I tried to explain it to my DH, but ended up saying "never mind, you had to be there!":D

Becky, that made me literally laugh out loud! I will never be able to think of that song the same again!

And, I feel the same way about my extended "family!"

I feel the same way about being called Diana ... I was not named after a pagan goddess, and I'm too old to be named after the princess.
 
  • #30
You didn't look too old to be named after the princess!
 
  • #31
I hope this isn't a stupid question... but, who is Chef Chris? :eek:
 
  • #32
The princess got married when I was like 12.Chef Chris is the guy cooking in your consultant videos. When he comes out on stage they play some music to indicate what a cutie he is and do a bit of flirting with him. (Later videos have used that female chef instead.)

You know they say the tv puts 10lbs on you...so I would say the same w/video. I thought the same thing when he came on stage though. Who is in the purple t-shirt?

Chef Becky D's right. Amy is a sweetie. I'm a little concerned, though, that she can tell us how Chef Chris feels. I mean, sniffing him is one thing. Feeling him up is quite another. LOL!

OMG! I am just getting around to reading this. (I pressed new posts a few times too many before getting through them all after returning from Wave 2, so now I am going thru the forums individually). I am so glad I am not drinking anything right now, because I am sure it would be all over the computer right now! Amy, I am so envious!

It is nice to "see" you, and hope to meet you at Leadership! I will promote by then. I will promote, I will promote, I will promote...
