Local mom makes MasterChef Canada Cranbrook’s Danielle Cardozo is among the country’s top 50 home cooks in the popular cook-off series SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
A Cranbrook mother-of-three will appear in a national cook-off TV series starting in January. Danielle Cardozo is among Canada’s top 50 home cooks who will compete for the top position in MasterChef Canada on CTV. After originally airing in the U.K. in 2005, the popular series began in Australia in 2009 and quickly became the country’s most popular show. A U.S. version of the series began in 2010. MasterChef has now been localized in 43 countries. In 2014, Canada will
have its turn to find the country’s best undiscovered cook in the first season. Canada’s top 50 home cooks will come together for a series of cooking challenges with weekly eliminations of contenders. Eventually one cook will be named MasterChef Canada. Cranbrook’s Danielle Cardozo is hoping to wow the judges in the series premiere with her specialty: elk carnita. “It’s basically elk tacos,” Danielle says. “I grew up in Fernie and Cranbrook, so I’m no stranger to game meat. I am aboriginal so in our house it was very common to have family
members give me meat, and it’s always elk and moose.” It was Danielle’s nine-year-old daughter who pushed her to audition for MasterChef as soon as she learned there would be a Canadian version. “One day it came on while the show was airing that Joe Bastianich from the U.S. version says, ‘Canada, it’s your turn.’ So my daughter goes and grabs my laptop from the kitchen counter and says, ‘Okay, Mom, it’s your turn,’” remembers Danielle. “It was right there and then, there was no waiting.”

Kimberley man makes international news with stranded-at-airport video C A RO LYN GR AN T Daily Bulletin
A funny thing happened on the way to Kimberley. James ‘Archie’ Archibald was on his way home from Honduras last week, with a stop-over in Miami and a change of aircraft in Dallas Fort Worth for the flight to Calgary. Unfortunately, Archie hit Dallas at about the same time as a major ice storm. His flight was delayed. And delayed again. The ice had proved too much for Dallas Fort Worth and the airport essentially shut down, stranding thousands, including Archie. Passengers with nowhere to go
turkey pot pIe
were issued cots and blankets from the American Red Cross. Archie bunked down with fellow passengers at their gate — D21 — which they promptly dubbed Shantytown D21. At first, there was hope that aircraft would be moving again the next day. That hope proved false and as it began to look like it would be a long delay, Archie began to look for something to do to relieve the boredom. He’d picked up a brand new video camera going through Miami and decided to document his stay at the Dallas Fort Worth Airport.
