CONTEST IS OVER.....BUT We had so much fun engaging for a while in the Favorite Chef Competition.

We had to move on to other pressing things (Like Chicago Climate Week), so we took a pass on continuing, but contributed greatly, ending in spot 5 in our group! Pretty good for a home chef!

So onward and upward at EarthSTARS.earth and all our work for original songwriting, docu-series, and providing a path to discuss food security and care for Mother Earth through the arts!

Thank you to the James Beard Foundation. We were so happy to get the word out and compete. WE received this morning: https://colossal.org/thank-you-fc

Sharing this video we put together for the closing day at Marketplace of the Future of Chicago Climate Week 2026.

Feel so blessed to have worked with my colleague Grossberg of Ally Entertainment (HyperHarp) and the amazing William Buchholtz as well as a host of musicians delivering a spirit to the day for Earth that was exceptional on so many levels.

And the MOTF team in Chicago, including Nicole Stratman and New York's Nicholas Suter. (Missed you Amer!) Amer Jandali.

Next year, 2027, let's see what that brings. In the meantime....keeping the spirit alive for our beautiful planet with a special focus on Food security along with so many friends and colleagues who are on nature's Frontlines! Save Soil Project Drawdown, TreeSisters, WeDontHaveTime.org, The Nature Conservancy, Dr. Ash Pachauri: Pop Movement and Eduard Müller and all the amazing people and groups getting up every day to help our world heal, and make our futures just a little brighter for seven generations ahead!

Peace,
