Weinr Loves Food!

So, I’m actually having a hard time getting through this battle, and it’s mainly because it’s fish Oh well, I will deal with it. It’s random, but the fish are already dead and on ice – unlike old school Iron Chef, where everything was always living. *sigh* I miss Iron Chef.

Okay, Lahlou has no formal training as a chef, but big deal, he’s going to take on Cat Cora. His style is Moroccan cuisine.

Ed Levine (seriouseats.com), Antoinette Bruno (starchefs.com) and Trevor Corson (sushi food author) are the judges. Like the last overview I did, it’s interesting to note that Food Network keeps using more and more bloggers for things. Levine and Bruno are both tagged as being bloggers / editors of food sites.

Lahlou’s Dishes:

• Redfish Scabech
• Redfish Beignets
• Steamed Refish with Couscous
• Roasted Redfish Charmoula style
• Redfish Basteeya

All in all the judges appear to have enjoyed the dishes…

Cora’s Dishes:

• Redfish skin salad with Watermelon
• Refish and chips
• Citrus-cured Redfish
• Duo of Redfish (Souveed filet + Redfish Roulad)
• Redfish Nanban Zuke
• Teriyaki Redfish

Cat going with six dishes No dessert though, which is a little unlike her. Even still, many of her dishes were fun. Her Redfish and Chips were served with an inside-out potato-based fried ketchup… fritter (almost).

So, the verdict: Lahlou wins! By seven points! Argh! I always root for the Iron Chef.
