No Bocuse This Time

Kevin Gillespie has dropped out of the Bocuse d'Or competition because he didn't have time to prepare. From his Facebook fan page:

As some of you may have become aware, I have resigned my place in this year's Bocuse d'Or semifinals. I did this with a heavy heart, but knew fully that I was unable to perform to the highest standard required of the competition, considering my current professional obligations. I felt like someone else deserved the opportunity, and wanted to see our country have the best people representing it.

What a guy!
