Very cool, Geoff, glad you gave it a try and that it came out a success. And I think I need my own sous chef.

Our version of Chopped-at-home is up now. Thanks again for the inspiration! Speaking of which, now I'm dying to try my hand at bierocks. Damn, those look good.

I’ve been writing up a blog post detailing our endeavor that should be done in a day or so– I’ll happily send you a link. The short version is: It was kind of a draw, we both had a ton of fun, and we’ve eagerly agreed to make such competitions a regular thing.

So, Geoff, who won? And what did you make?

Thanks, Geoff. And interesting book. I just added it to my Amazon wish list. By the way, Michael, you asked about following this site. I completely forgot to mention my Twitter feed, on which I link to all new blog posts.

This was a really great (and mouthwatering) read. Inspirational, too– I challenged my girlfriend to our own version of the competition tonight. I’d just gotten a copy of The Flavor Bible and I’ve been itching to put it to use…

Thanks, Michael, and sorry about the brownie. (I think I have your rematch on DVR, so I'll root for you, anyway.) And thanks for your perspective. I get enough pressure trying to finish two components at the same time (or put two ingredients together). If I were on the show, I'd probably run into the pantry and hide under the spice rack. I am still a Facebook hold-out, which is kind of ironic since I have access to my wife's Facebook account from my iPhone. One of these days... For now, there's a "subscribe" button at the top-right for RSS feeds (if you use MyYahoo! or Google Reader, for example), and there's an "Email Updates" box on the upper-left side of each page. (You'll get an email containing new posts whenever something is posted.) I see from your homepage that we'll sort of be in your neck of the woods this weekend. Looking forward to a meal at Stage Left in New Brunswick.

Hi Jason,
As a chef who competed on Chopped ~twice now…I found your blog very interesting and I must admit~ “I could not stop reading the blog on Chopped: the home game!” I am glad you had fun with the food items you used for the battle! I am sorry she won, but the two of you worked hard at the competition…As you know it is pressure, just think you had time to spend with someone you love and enjoy to be next to. When we are on the show sometimes we do not always like the person who is cooking one table down from ours….as you see on the show. It was nice to see you and Karen pick great food items, spend time with each other, learn some new things from Tom’s Cookbook and battle it out for a winner…way to bring cooking back to the home! Kudos my culinary adventure chef!
Yours in food,
Michael/ chopped for a burnt brownie!

Wow!! I’m so impressed! I agree that you could have rendered that duck fat a bit more, but overall you got a great sear on it!

Funny that you both had duck on the brain. I think we’re going to try it sometime.

(ps- Thomas Keller’s fried chicken? Two thumbs up.)
