secret crush of the week:

sam kass, white house assistant chef.

swoon.

and yes, i discovered him because he was a guest judge on top chef.  on rainy nights i've been watching an occasional episode of top chef that i've downloaded from itunes. 

[picture from here - with a little blurb about him if you want to read more.  apparently i am slow on the uptake and people have been crushing on him since last year.  note: this does not make him any less cute.]
