Wisconsin Ag Connection - 01/18/2013

Seven chefs from throughout the state have been selected to compete in the 2013 Wisconsin's Taste of Elegance contest, which will be held at the Kalahari Resort and Convention Center in Wisconsin Dells on January 31. The Taste of Elegance features top chefs who will prepare an original pork recipe that has not been previously featured on their menu. The reception featuring these eight chefs will begin at 6:15 p.m.

This year's chefs include Aaron Fidder, Wisconsin Machine Shed Restaurant, Appleton; James Deptula, Heatland Grill, Madison; Lisa Hitchcock, Survivors Bar and Grill, Wisconsin Dells; Paul Cummings, Heidel House Resort and Spa, Green Lake; Zachary Benson, The Pine Lodge Restaurant at Heartwood Conference Center and Retreat, Trego; Tyler Salsbery, The Black Sheep Restaurant, Whitewater; and Rob Gamble, Bigfoot Country Club, Fontana.

The Taste of Elegance was created to encourage pork menuing in a creative and non-traditional manner. The chef participants are competing for the title of Chef Par Excellence and $750. The Superior Chef will receive $500 and $250 will be awarded to the Premium Chef. Those in attendance at the reception will select their favorite entree, and a $250 People's Choice Award will be presented. In addition, the Chef Par Excellence will have the opportunity to represent Wisconsin at the National Taste of Elegance.
