"Being in a military helped me prepare to be yelled at by Gordon".

In a couple of months after the competition is over, Sarah planned to start her own blog called "Everyday Food and Wine". The content of the blog will contain wine pairings with recipes. In addition to that, she also plans to start a podcast on wine pairings in the coming years.
