Matt Williams is headed for the Winter Olympics to compete in, um, the sculpting competition. It's part of a culture fest Olympic folk are doing in Karuizawa, near the Japanese host city of Nagano. He and Aaron Costic of Cleveland are one of four U.S. teams. Williams, chef at Buckley's Grill, set to open next month in Anderson, has competed before. The way the Olympic competition works is that competitors get 22 hours to turn 15 blocks into art.
Work is judged on the idea, impression, artistry and technique.
Competition is Jan. 29 and 30. The Cincinnati Enquirer , a Gannett Co. Inc. newspaper.
