In the epic finale of the second season of Iron Chef Dinner Club: FLAVOR THROWDOWN, Chefs Aaron and Genie showed us all of the possible variations of cocoa--both sweet and savory. They artfully paired it with vegetables, seafood, meats, and well more chocolate...mmmm chocolate...
Iron Chef: Beer edition
Chefs Elmer and Aaron went head-to-head in a heady, frothy battle of beer. Check out their dishes below!
Defending DC Iron Chef Dinner Club Champion Tai competed against Sarah in an epic battle featuring April's Flavor Throwdown ingredient: CORN. Throughout the course of the evening, the chefs displayed their creativity through multiple courses of popcorn, corn dogs, ice cream, soups, tamales, and fritters. Thank you Tai and Sarah for an amazing spread and to Anthony for hosting! Looking forward to next month's dinner...mmmm coconut.
In the second installment of Iron Chef Dinner Club: Flavor Throwdown, roommates Kim and Elmer faced off and showed judges their take on citrus. Kim's cuisine primarily drew flavors from classic American and Latin American cuisine, while Elmer turned further east to show how lemon and limes could pair with cucumbers, tuna, and the judges favorite, octopus.
In the first battle of the second season of Iron Chef Dinner Club: FLAVOR THROWDOWN, Aaron and Anthony brushed off their finest pepper recipes and showed judges the best flavors and colors that capsicum have to offer us. Fried, pureed, sauteed, and candied--we tried it all!
For our long awaited final showdown, Chefs Tai and Ellen laid the most fantastic spread yet. Judges came in their finest duds to enjoy (and critique) ten courses of perfectly prepared eggs. Soups, salads, stews, sushi, sweets, and of course cocktails, featured chicken eggs, quail eggs, and fish eggs...mmmm.
Congrats to Chef Tai on winning the Iron Chef Championship!
