Just came back from a week in Puerto Vallarta and have been enjoying classic Mexican cuisine all week. The fun continues today with my guest Pati Jinich author of Mexican Today – New and Rediscovered Recipes for Contemporary Kitchens. Intriguing recipes for everyday meals from the host of the PBS series Pati’s Mexican Table.
Due to some scheduling changes, Pati couldn’t join us today…hope to reschedule soon.
This show ended up being all about the Old Town Farmers Market Iron Chef Competition
This Saturday will be the 14th Annual Iron Chef Competition at the OTFM. Four of Wichita’s top chefs will be using a “secret ingredient” and products from the market as they accept this culinary challenge. Their creations will be rated by a panel of esteemed judges.
This year’s contest will feature chef Paul Freimuth from Harvest Kitchen/Bar in the Hyatt, who will be defending his 2015 title. The other competitors will be Travis Joy, who also works at Harvest, Josh Rathbun, the new chef at the Ambassador’s Siena Tuscan Steakhouse, and Ben George, Intrust Bank Arena’s executive chef and a past Iron Chef champion. People at the market can watch all the action. They can’t taste the food, sadly, but it’s still fun to watch.
Judges this year; The Wichita Eagles food writer Denise Neil, local wine and food experts Guy and Beth Bower and longtime market manager Pat Randleas. The chefs will find out what the secret ingredient is at 8:30 a.m., and we should choose the winner between 9:30 and 9:45 a.m. Learn More
And the winner after tough competition was Travis Joy from the Hyatt Harvest Grill…Great stuff!
Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2014 Kendall-Jackson Vintners Reserve Chardonnay
“America’s #1 selling Chardonnay for 23 years and counting! It’s no wonder Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay is our most popular release. Handcrafted in small vineyard lots throughout the entire winemaking process, our grapes are from California’s cool, coastal growing regions. Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay is fruit-forward, divinely complex, approachable and exceptionally food-friendly.”
“Beautifully integrated tropical flavors such as pineapple, mango, and papaya with citrus notes that explode in your mouth. These flavors delicately intertwine with aromas of vanilla and honey to create depth and balance throughout. A hint of toasted oak and butter rounds out the long, lingering finish.”
– Randy Ullom, Winemaster
