Michael Thomson won his first food award before he could even drink — well, legally. “I was just a kid living in Florida at the time and listening to the radio one day,” he says. “All of a sudden, this radio station announced a recipe contest. Every 15 minutes they’d announce an ingredient, and you had to figure out the dish. I figured out that it was seven-layer bars and called in and won. My prize consisted of a ladies’ razor and a box of tampons.” Ah, Thomson’s first taste of success.
