It s Meet the Masters Week – that s right, after the week of global cooking superstars, and then meeting former MasterChef contestants, it s finally time for the amateurs to meet some people who are good at cooking.
Monday s Master is Andreas Papadakis, a man who has TWO restaurants, an incredibly selfish act when you consider how many people out there haven t even got one. It s perhaps the amateurs biggest challenge so far: pretending they know who Andreas Papadakis is and that they re super excited to meet him.

Montgomery: State lawmakers have inched closer to approving a ban on so-called vaccine passports that would require proof of COVID-19 vaccination to access services from a business or state agency. The House Health Committee voted Wednesday to send the bill to House of Representatives for a vote. It has already cleared the Senate. The bill contains a number of exceptions. Surgeons, dentists, medical institutions, hospitals and other health care providers are exempted. Universities could still require students to receive a vaccine; however, there would be exceptions for vaccines approved for “emergency use” by the FDA, as is the case with all three COVID-19 vaccines given in the United States thus far. The idea of vaccine passports is to have a document that shows a person has been inoculated against COVID-19.

Masters 2021 Betting Odds: Favorites Include Jordan Spieth And Dustin Johnson, With Tiger Woods Absent

Masters Week is here as the world’s top golfers prepare to compete for the year’s first major. A few of the sport’s top players stand out among the favorites to win the green jacket.
A couple of months ago, Jordan Spieth was viewed as a long shot to win the 2021 Masters. The 27-year-old now is given a better chance to finish atop the leaderboard than most of the field.
After winning the Valero Texas Open Sunday, Spieth’s odds of becoming the 2021 Masters champion have catapulted to +1100 at FanDuel Sportsbook. Only Bryson DeChambeau and Dustin Johnson, who are the co-favorites with +950 odds apiece, enter the tournament with better odds.

I liked the old days when you could call a company switchboard and connect with a human.
I think it worked better than this leaving-a-message habit we have now. Sometimes it even led to surprises.
During one Masters Week many years ago, I was sitting in a nearly empty downtown newsroom listening to the police scanner so our more talented journalists could be out at the course pretending to be golf writers.
The phone in front of me rang, and the switchboard operator told me Gene Sarazen was on the line.
Even a pretend golf writer would know Gene Sarazen. His remarkable double eagle on No. 15 in the 1935 Masters not only helped him win the tournament but is often called the greatest shot in golf history. It would put the new Augusta event on the annual itinerary of the sporting literati for decades to come.
