COMPETITOR
Eric Jurisin
COMPETITION: World Live Fire Championship
I have been cooking since I was 12 years old. All I ever know is food. My parents have been in the industry for 36 years now. I have been a professional chef for 5 years now, and a line cook for the last 15. Cooking is in my blood and it's all I know. I am coming to compete to show the world I have what it takes to be the next best chef.
