Blogging Master Chef

Patrick James Brochu is a native Floridian, but has lived all over the United States and for a short period, in Canada as a child.

Having started reading at the age of three, he has always been an avid fan of the written word. His mother, impressed by his skill, would give him newspaper articles, books– anything written and have him read it to her friends. As he grew, fictional stories and characters became his muse and he dabbled in creative writing, once writing an entire book manuscript.

After graduating High School a year ahead of his classmates, he began working odd jobs to help take care of his family; however he never gave up on his want to be a writer. A few short years later, in fact— he enrolled in the local state college and studied both Journalism and Creative Writing. Shortly after, he transferred to the University of Florida where he was forced to quit semesters shy of earning his degree in order to fall back and continue providing for his family, which then, sadly, only really consisted of a sick mother.

Now, however— he is trying to save face and is once again pursuing his passion for writing by blogging for YRR. He is one of your few reliant, on-hand (for the most reality TV experts.

He’s a huge Survivor super-fan, but also has a huge passion for Big Brother,TAR and MasterChef.   In fact, please take the time to shoot over to his MasterChef blog and read up on episode recaps and get his personal opinion on all the latest kitchen fiascos.
