The secret ingredient is...BACON!

For my birthday party his year, Anthony planned a cook-off challenge Top Chef meets Iron Chef Style. The secret ingredient was bacon. Each chef-testant had 1 hour to prepare 2 dishes. We started the day with a trip to whole foods and then cooking began. The total cooking time lasted more than a hour and there was one big fire flame but overall it was quite successful. Thanks everyone for preparing such yummy food.
