Chef Spike and Rachel Ray

Chef Spike Delivers

By Sean Mitton, Canadian Expat Network

Spike Mendelsohn is looking forward to opening a Pizza kitchen in Washington, DC coming up in April. Based on his past history as a chef at Good Stuff Eatery in Washington, DC, my guess is things will go pretty well. The Montreal native has made a name for himself, with an impressive list of accomplishments. Maybe you know him as Chef Spike.

While 2009 was a tough year for many, Chef Spike had a "pretty good" year. In February, he was featured on CBS Early Morning show for his Obama burgers, in March, won 3 Awards for his Burgers at Rachel Ray's Burger Bash in Miami and was invited to a White House Easter Egg Roll in April for a health food demo for kids.

Did I mention also that Chef Spike was a contestant on Top Chefs Chicago in Season 4 which was featured on Bravo TV in 2008?

Today you can drop into to the Good Stuff Eatery located close to Capitol Hill and try one of his delicious burgers or poutine off his Olympic menu. That can be washed down with a Maple Syrup milk shake.

Stay tuned for the Grand opening date of his Pizza kitchen "We, the Pizza", as well as an upcoming recipe book.
