Come watch 3 fantastic local chefs compete for bragging rights in a farmers-market-style throwdown. Participating will be Gregg Brackman of G Bar & Kitchen in Swampscott, Craig Hawley, of Bar-B-Que Bistro & Fish and Fowl Supper Club, and Barry Edelman of 5 Corners Kitchen in Marblehead.
Each chef will be given the secret ingredient, allotted $35 to spend at the market, 15 min to shop, and 1 hr to prepare the ultimate dish for judging. Whole Foods of Swampscott will provide basic pantry items such as salt, pepper, oils, vinegars and stocks. The real focus will be highlighting the seasonal vegetables available at the market and showcasing the secret ingredient. Judging criteria will be determined by taste, creativity, presentation and use of workspace.
Emceeing the event will be local television personality Kim Carrigan. Kim will also judge the competition along with North Shore Magazine food journalist Jeanne O’Brien Coffey and Wellington Augusto, chef of Newburyport's Mission Oak Grill and now the Red Rock Bistro in Swampscott. Sample tastings will be available to the public!
