Show 8: December 8, 2012: Stan Frazier

Well-known in music circles as the drummer and principal song writer for the band, Sugar Ray. Stan also is a serious amateur chef who was a contestant on BBC America’s new reality cooking series, “Chef Race : U.K. vs. U.S” which was executive produced by Jamie Oliver. Stan also owns a piece of A Restaurant in Newport Beach where he resides.

Back on October 2nd “Chef Race” debuted with 16 chefs, 8 Americans and 8 Brits, starting their cross-country journey on the Santa Monica Pier. They raced to New York City (raising money along the way) where the last chef standing walked away with a cool $100,000 and a lot of personal satisfaction.

Stan was clearly the wild card contestant yet he prevailed ! He competed with dignity which was a quality not shares by all of his fellow contestants. Go USA!
