Perfect Pairing: Spicy Bloody Mary
Be sure to read the recaps of the 2010 challenge here and here.
By the time the main course round of the Lake House Chef’s Challenge 2010 rolled around the kitchen mess was nearing epic proportions. The competitors were fighting for space and helpers. It was quite the scene! The required ingredient for the main course was chicken and the competitors still needed to incorporate their “secret” ingredients.

Jon made a Bacon Wrapped Chicken and Veggie Skewer
We reminded him that he needed to “present” it and this is what he came up with. Needless to say, the wheels had fallen off a little bit since the first course presentation.
I made a Spicy Chicken Milanese with Arugula Salad (recipe below)
Julie made a Coconut Crusted Chicken with a Pineapple Salsa
The Perfect Pairing for the appetizer round was Jon’s VERY spicy bloody mary. Jon was not messing around with this cocktail. He made his own vegetable juice by simmering tomatoes, veggies and hot peppers on the stove for hours. He mashed everything and strained it off. He made bloody marys with the juice, gin and a crispy slice of bacon for garnish. Only the strongest of the group could finish these fiery drinks but I think they remain the most discussed item of the night!
Still to come.... dessert and results!
