This is above and beyond exciting; I was invited as a guest judge on the Top Chef Tour at their stop in Eastern Market, Washington, DC. At this event, two former Top Chef Carla Hall and Chef Ariane Duarte participants face head to head at a Quickfire-style challenge. Carla Hall is our local Chef, and Ariane Duarte is from Season 5 in New Jersey. The judges got a chance to try food prepared by the two chefs. We are very thankful to our friends at Foodspotting, who were media partners during the tour.







Judges Table
The judge’s table is nicely placed in the middle of the stage, with both chef’s stations on both sides. I had the pleasure of sitting with other judges representing Washington, D.C.
