Chef Mike who has made a name for himself in Newburgh will be featured on the Food Network.

Sometimes there are just people who stand out and Chef Mike is surely one of them. I met Chef Mike a few years ago when he was working at one of my favorite spots in Newburgh. Right away, he stood out for his kindness, dedication and his enormous passion for food.

I've personally tried a few of his dishes and they are OUTSTANDING and so yummy. Chef Mike has worked in a few spots in the Newburgh area and he seems to outdo himself at each spot.

I was recently looking on Instagram and I noticed that Chef Mike is about to have another HUGE career accomplishment and this one involves the television.

What big accomplishment is one Chef in Newburgh getting?

How awesome is this, Chef Mike is going to be featured on the show Chopped which runs on the famous and loved Food Network. Many people have heard of Chopped and have religiously watched the show.

In case you don't know, Chopped is when talented Chefs face off against one another and they prepare some pretty awesome dishes. It's no surprise that Chef Mike would be part of something like this.

When will you be able to catch Chef Mike from Newburgh on Chopped?

The episode is going to be on TONIGHT YES TONIGHT at 8 pm. So get your wine ready, make sure you're home, and be ready to watch one awesome show. Have no doubt that we will all be rooting and cheering for you Chef Mike.

We wish Chef Mike the best of luck on Chopped and we hope to see him around the Hudson Valley real soon. Say a big congrats to him about the show if you see him in the Newburgh area.
