This is hugely exciting for me, I started at the Swinery as a grill cook in March of '14, got noticed because I was always coming up with ways to improve the food or the efficiency of the shop, took over as sous chef in December of last year, and have been running the kitchen entirely since January, so I'm less than a year in and now have a #1 win in a very competitive category from a respected source. It's doubly awesome since I cook on a charbroil backyard grill that you can get at Home Depot, a propane camp stove, and some consumer grade counter top deep fryers, while the runners up all had fully equipped professional kitchens. Doing more with less is what being a chef is all about, so overcoming inadequate equipment to pull out the win and bring the honor to my house tastes especially sweet.
