Those of you who are Chopped Junior fans (or have kids who are Chopped Junior fans) might recognize this young lady from last month's battle, where she minced and sautéed her way to victory over three other (adorable) aspiring tween chefs. Me? I just know her as 12-year-old Elizabeth, the kid who lives around the corner, my daughter's oldest friend, her partner-in-crime on playdates and in orchestra pits. (Now that I know how expertly she can pan-fry scallops...well...I'm thinking those playdates need to happen closer to dinner hour.) I figured we should snag Elizabeth for an interview before she lines up an entourage of publicists, so Abby sat her down in their middle school cafeteria last month to ask her a few questions about her experience. Take it away girls!
