No need to be "The King Of Chefs"

It's always interesting when domain name squatters try to contact me
with the hottest domain name that I must have. They are par with the those who want to place my site at the top of the search engines. I'm already listed on the 1st search page on Google for "vegetarian chef" without having to pay anyone, so I'm quite satisfied.
Here's the latest offering with my replies in bold:
"Hello,
My name is Andrei Mikrukov. I found your website
chefveggie.com in Google while searching
for chef websites.
Yes, because I already have great placement and don't need another domain.
Would you like to be known as the King Of Chefs? NO
Exactly this domain name, www.KingOfChefs.com, is now
available and can become yours today.
The domain is #1 in Yahoo for "king of chefs" and is on
the first page in Google, AOL and many other search engines
for that term.
Yeah, everyone is searching for "king of chefs". Hey, what about queen of chefs, maybe that would sell well ;)
Buy-it-now price is $499.
Current minimum offer amount: $395.
Yeah right, I can't believe another chef would be so gullible!
Please, follow the link on the site.

Take it first and be the only King of Chefs on the net.
Go to http://www.kingofchefs.com
Wishing you success,
Success is more likely by not having unworthy expenditures.

Andrei Mikrukov
www.KingOfChefs.com


P.S. The domain remains available on a non-exclusive first-come,
first-purchased basis. We reserve the right to adjust pricing
and availability.
"

Please if you have a business, do not support these types folks. A domain name is $10.
If I had a brand new business idea, I would come up with a business name around a domain name that is not taken. Nameboy is a great site for coming up with domain name ideas.

New Banner

I just used my nifty (but a little rusty) Adobe Photoshop skills to create a new banner.
The food featured is as follows: my version of veggie Pancit (a Filipino rice noodle dish) with Gyoza (upper left corner), Seitan Picatta (lower left corner), Eggplant Rollatini (upper right corner), and Grilled Radicchio with Fig Balsamic Vinaigrette (lower right corner).

I look forward to making more posts and adding more recipes more often!
