Some of you might know that I judged a Iron Chef event here in Atlanta last week. The winner by a nose hair was Chef Christopher Davis. Chef Chris has worked in prominent places such as Ritz-Carlton and Abbatoir as a chef.
During an Iron Chef competition the pressure is really on. One of the things that struck me was the calm atmosphere around Chef Chris’ table – there were no rush and no pressure; no sign of stress at all; only smiles and gentle instructions to the team.
Chef Chris has honored DINNER – by Dad with his WINNING recipe.
The flavor combination is fantastic and compliments each other in such a nice, harmonic yet interesting way.
