What will three of Ridgefield’s best chefs make from an earthy goat cheese? Come to the Battle of the Chefs on May 17 at Founders Hall to find out. Last week on HAN radio’s Stir Crazy, Tanya Young of food sponsor The Chefs’ Warehouse revealed goat cheese as the required ingredient for the appetizer portion of the Battle. Over the next three weeks, Bernard Bouissou (Bernard’s), Silvia Bianco (chfesilvia.com, formerly Biscotti ) and Prasad Chirnomula (Thali Restaurants) will each conceive and create an appetizer using goat cheese. They will serve these appetizers to Battle guests, who will then vote for their favorites.
Appetizers are just one test of the chefs’ culinary skills. At the Battle, which is sponsored by Fairfield County Bank, they will open a basket of surprise ingredients and compete to create a winning entrée while you cheer them on. It will be a fast-paced competition of delicious drama and mouth-watering fun. Most importantly, it will raise much-needed money for the programs provided at Founders Hall all year long.
