Directing your attention away from the State Fair…
The American Airlines Chef Challenge went down Tuesday, October 12 at the AT&T Plaza of the AAC. This was the deal: Competition started with 18 contestants, given 30 minutes to prepare a steak plate. Judges deliberated, selected five finalists, who prepared “Signature Offerings” within the 30 minutes. Lauren Lee, pastry chef, won the competition with her “Mama’s Cupcake Meatloaf,” having prepared the only thing not Baja or Southwestern in style. Bobby Flay’d be pissed.
These were the five finalists’ signature offerings:
– Hollie Dorethy’s Carne Asada Wrapped Stuffed Poblano
Will you step up to support Dallas Observer this year?
At the Dallas Observer, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $15,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of the Dallas Observer, now’s the time to give back.
– Lauren Lee’s Mama Cupcake Meatloaf
– Cedric Jennerson’s Chicken Stuffed Poblano with Guacamole Sauce
– Oswaldo Samono’s Blackened Fish Tacos with Avocado ( finished with 10 minutes to spare)
– Lisa Martel’s Mahi Fish Sticks with Sweet Potato Tots
