Battle North East!

Well, Battle North East took place Saturday, and let me tell you, it was a blast!

The secret ingredient was revealed to us on Friday - but we had already had our line up planned as far as food went. Had it been battle grape, then we would have been a little pressed to incorporate that into our dishes, but since it was BATTLE ONION! we were ok.

So, with onions in hand, we started the tearing up our kitchen. Seriously, it was a war zone. The teams were Bailey, Sarah and myself versus Emily, Jeremy and Emma.




(more bars in more places)

Team Penrod worked up the following:

Homemade chips & salsa & guacamole dip
Chicken Tortilla Soup
Chicken Quesadilla's with Tomato Onion Balsamic Salad
Onion Infused Deep Fried Icecream(!!)







Team Carver whipped up:

Chicken Wings
Steak on a French Onion Bed
YUMMO Egg Rolls
Cheese curls stuffed with "something"

In the end - Chairman Greg consulted with the judges and the decision came back. It was a tie!

Unbelieveable! Never before had we seen such scores in Kitchen Stadium!

Team Penrod celebrated in true Iron Chef style with shots of Jaegermeister! Bailey had diet coke, btw.



I just wanted say THANK YOU to all involved! I hope that those watching this unfold had as much fun as we did cooking this up.
