Local Chef Appears on Food Network's "Chopped"


Chef Samantha Izzo, from Simply Red Bistro, appeared on last night's episode of "Chopped."  The series challenges four chefs to turn a selection of everyday ingredients into an extraordinary three-course meal. After each course, a contestant gets "chopped" until the last man or woman left standing claims victory and $10,000.

Apparently, she knows how to cook a great goat brain appetizer, but a New York City line chef took the grand prize.  If you missed the show, (I think, maybe, eventually) it will appear on Hulu.com.

For more about Izzo, who incorporates her South African heritage into her Finger Lakes Cooking, read my article about her in Edible Finger Lakes magazine.
