    Aarón Sánchez, Telluride Wine Festival 2012

    July 3, 2012 by athomewithrebecka 2 Comments

     
    I had the honor of a quick photo-op with renowned Chef Aarón Sánchez this past weekend.   


    The co-star of Food Network's hit series', Heat Seekers and Chopped, Aarón is the chef/owner of Centrico Restaurant and Tacombi, located in New York City, as well as Mestizo Restaurant, located in Kansas City. Aarón's passion, commitment and skills
    have placed him among the country's leading contemporary Latin Chefs.

    He is the author of "Simple Food, Big Flavor: Unforgettable Mexican-Inspired
    Recipes from My Kitchen to Yours" and "La Comida del Barrio: Latin-American
    Cooking in the U.S.A."

    Aarón is a restaurateur, television personality, consultant, spokesperson and author. Source: Chef Aarón Sánchez.com

    I was taking a tour of Telluride Colorado, during the Annual Wine Festival when my son Dustin spotted Aarón doing some sightseeing and shopping.  Honestly, I had walked right past him a few seconds earlier without making the connection.

     
    I'm generally reluctant to bother celebrities when they are trying to enjoy a day without fans pouring all over them. However, I always look back with disappointment that I didn't have the gumption to stalk the poor celebrity and snap photo evidence of the moment.  
     
    I've passed on photos with other celebrities as a matter of NOT being "that person".  Gerald McRaney,  Delta Burke, Ed Asner, Michael Redd, Willard Scott, and many others.  Without hesitation I did the unthinkable, I ran across the street like a silly schoolgirl, to capture a moment on film with Aarón. 
     
    When I asked if he wouldn't mind taking a photo, Aarón was exceptionally kind and accommodating (he's also really tall in person) although, he didn't have anywhere to hide as I had him cornered in a T-Shirt store. 
     
    Thank you Aarón for taking time from your day to snap a quick photo with me!!
