Despite not coming home with the big win with my Kickin’ Chipotle Fried Chicken Tenders and Cool Cucumber Slaw, the experience of competing on Food Network’s Ultimate Recipe Showdown is one I’ll cherish for a long time.  The cast and crew were terrific to work with.  Such professional and absolutely awesome people!  Guy Fieri and […]
