I mean, great cooking takes experience in eating too. Kwik probably hasn`t had the chance to experience eating food cooked by many great chefs.

If I can bring the wine, I would humbly submit myself as a judge.

Oh yes. Please. Battle Foie Gras.

See, foie is one of the items Manton would absolutely kill me with. I've cooked it less than 10 times.

Then again, with battle Foie Gras, everybody wins.

You told me about the duck you cooked in rendered foie. That would certainly count!

I've been cooking my entire life, but only been cooking in a professional manner (if you can call it that) for about 6 months, since August.

You can tell a lot by color.

I think Manton would kick your derrière, tenderize it, blanche it and sous-vide it

Well what you do is throw a knob of foie gras in with tenderloin and sous vide it all. As it heats up, the foie gras melts and the flavor goes all over the tenderloin. I don't know about healthy, but it's certainly wonderful

I think he would right now too. That won't be the case for long, though.

How about a small group of judges in each city volunteer to score the dishes based on a rubric of some sort (comparisons vs a set dish from a chain with chi and nyc locations or something).

I volunteer...

Okay, calling me "son" is not going to get you any extra points.
