Chef Dustin Schoenhofer was excited to hear the results. “It’s such a humbling honor to be voted the winner,” he said. “I feel the BLTacos speak to people, both simple and snob alike. It shows you that you can take basic products and showcase them in an elegant manner without going over people’s heads. That’s what I strive to accomplish as a chef. Simple, elegant and relatable.”

RUNNER UP

Sweet Georgette Salad

Food-Challenge-Georgettes

 

The runner-up is the Sweet Georgette Salad from Georgette’s Fair Trade Grounds and Gifts. Fresh greens topped with craisins, asiago cheese walnuts, Granny Smith apples and a raspberry vinaigrette, this salad more than held its own in a contest dominated by meat-centric entrées.

3RD PLACE

In third place was City BBQ’s More Cowbell sandwich. Piles of smoked brisket on Texas toast with provolone cheese, grilled peppers and onions, onion straws and horseradish dressing had what it took to join the other two selections on the medal stand.
