Seafood Throwdown Winner
COQUILLES SAINT-JACQUES WITH A TWIST
BY KATHERINE AND CATHERINE
This past Sunday, the Throwdowners gathered yet again to try their hand at ‘throwing down’ with seafood. All are well acquainted with seafood ingredients having already prepared delectable dishes in the past, but this Throwdown was different… Down five fellow Throwdowners due to a schedule conflict, much had to be made up for in variety and surprise. Though the five running chefs had better chances of winning, the ante was upped big time with each Throwdowner presenting a bright, flavorful dish that reflected not only the chefs’ unique style, but their true passion and imagination for combining the best of fresh ingredients.

Potato Heaven
FULLY LOADED BAKED POTATO
BY AURÉLIE PTITO

It’s no surprise then that my go-to comfort food would feature these delicious starchy gems.

Cake Anyone?
DELUXE CHEESECAKE
BY STEVEN GENTILE
“First and foremost, I need to give credit to my mom for winning this Throwdown. I grew up on her cheesecake and have eaten it more times than I care to remember, enjoying it every single time. Whenever there’s a family celebration (and coming from an Italian family there are many) someone always asks my mom to bake this cake. She reluctantly agreed to give away her coveted recipe. I promised that I would leave out one key ingredient to keep people guessing. Decadent, cheesy, not overly sweet, this cheesecake is sure to make a few of you feel just right and add a little love to those handles.” - Steve
