Georges' chef wins on "Chopped"
They went and stuck an eel in his appetizer basket.
Three of the four chefs competing on last night's episode of the Food Network show Chopped were Phily folks, and it was Jeremy Duclut of georges' in Wayne who won the 10 grand.
Premise: Chefs have to create a three-course meal from a list of mystery ingredients, and chefs get "chopped" after each course. Duclut's basket contained eel, peaches, and peas for the appetizer course. Entree was butternut squash, oatmeal, shrimp, and Chinese pickled prunes. Dessert: sharp Cheddar, Saltine crackers, parsnips, and limoncello.
He vows that none of this stuff will appear on georges' menu.
Also on the show were Lower Merion caterer Barbara Esmonde and Peter Karapanagiotis of Old City's Privé.
