      CONGRATULATING LOGAN GULEFF ON WINNING ``MASTERCHEF JUNIOR''

  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Memphian Logan 
Guleff on winning the second season of ``MasterChef Junior.'' At age 
11, Logan was among thousands of children ages 8 through 13 who 
auditioned for the show. His culinary experience helped him to not only 
be selected as a show participant but to also triumph over his 
competitors and take home the grand prize.
  When Logan was nine, he traveled to New York to compete in a Jif 
peanut butter contest as a semifinalist and at age 10, he had lunch at 
the White House and a meeting with President Barack Obama after winning 
a state contest. Additionally, Logan has already become a culinary 
entrepreneur, offering his own line of seasonings called Logan's Rub 
and providing dining reviews on his blog, 
orderupwithlogan.blogspot.com.
  For Logan's final competitive meal on ``MasterChef Junior'', he chose 
to highlight his talents by preparing all seafood dishes, including 
grilled spot prawn with a smoked saffron aioli and olive tapenade for 
his appetizer and a salt crusted branzino with a chimichurri sauce for 
his entree. ``MasterChef Junior'' host Gordon Ramsay commented that 
Logan's dishes were the most unusual ones the show has ever seen, to 
which Logan replied, ``Go big or go home.'' His vision, creativity and 
all-or-nothing spirit certainly paid off.
  Logan's accomplishments are significant for a young man of only 12 
years of age, and he represents the Memphis culinary community well. I 
ask all of my colleagues to join me in congratulating Logan Guleff on 
winning the title of MasterChef Junior.
