In 40 years, there has been one local guy at The American. Brian Whitmer, was he even chef though? Maybe just sous (with Bradley Ogden in the early 80's)... I doubt they even look local or allow an interview to a local. Not to say that there is not people who could do it...ahem, Dave Crum...
Good luck Becky, see you and Jimmy on my next trip home!
