The right place was Victor's Pub on Camden's waterfront, and McCargo, 37, was announced as the winner. He bested the two other finalists, Lisa Garza of Dallas and Adam Gertler of South Philadelphia.
More than 200 friends and family members - including McCargo's wife, Kim, sons Josh, 14, and Justin, 4, and daughter Jordan, 1 -- attended the Camden party. "I need a grill," McCargo said, pretending to be ill at ease.
McCargo, who's been cooking since age 7, attended a year at the Academy of Culinary Arts at Atlantic Cape Community College, but left to help his mother with his brothers. He later created several restaurants in Camden. Most recently he was executive chef for catering at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Center City. He resigned June 6.
His prize was a Food Network cooking show "Big Daddy's Kitchen" will premiere in early August.
Gertler, 31, meanwhile, partied with about 100 friends and family members at N3rd, a pub in Northern Liberties.
