An exciting addition to this years festivities was a Culinary Challenge that took place. 2 Chefs were asked to compete- one being Matty's own Executive Chef, Chef Bob Nicholson and the other being the Executive Chef of Hom Wood Fired Grill, a restaurant out of Brookfield.

Both Chefs were unaware of their secret ingredient until the challenge began, which took place in the auditorium of the facility. There were several mystery elements that needed to be utilized including: chicken, rhubarb and specialty mustard's.....and that's when the fun began! Both gentleman had only 45 minutes to complete their main dishes and a dessert to serve to award-winning chef and restaurateur Sandy D'Amato to be judged.

Although both Chef's are extremely talented, Chef Bob walked away the victor with the winning dish of Southwest Chicken with a Mango Fire Salsa that was accompanied by a twice baked potato with smoked Gouda cheese. Another component was the dessert of Rhubarb Mousse. We are so proud of his win....but weren't completely surprised because we get to see his talents everyday! Congratulations to Chef Bob and Thank You for doing such a fantastic job representing Matty's!
