Early cooking career
Logan started cooking at the age of two. At the age of 9, his recipe for the "Jif Most Creative Sandwich" contest won him a trip to New York City and an appearance on The Today Show on NBC. "I went on TV a bunch with my recipe and it was really fun. I got so disappointed that I did not win the grand prize, so my Mom suggested that I enter another contest and I won (the Epicurious Healthy Challenge trip)."
