Rathbun Brothers Cuisine Reigns Supreme on Iron Chef Battle Elk
Chef Kevin Rathbun became the first Georgia Chef to defeat an Iron Chef on Sunday’s night Iron Chef America Series. Kevin and his brother Kent, aka, “The Rathbun Brothers” commanded the show and created five different dishes with the “secret ingredient” of Elk.
Whose cuisine reigned supreme? According to the three judges which included, Food Author, Ted Allen, Rapper Bone Crusher, and Exec Chef, Alexandrea Guarnaschelli, The Rathbun Brothers cuisine reigned supreme and scored a fifty to Flay’s forty-six. Scored on Taste, Originality and Plating, the Rathbun Brothers received high marks from the judges with one saying, “I’m in awe.”
The battle began with Chef Kevin Rathbun and his brother standing in the smoke filled hall with a determined cross-armed stance by Kevin Rathbun. Responding to the host on why they were there, Kent Rathbun said, “We are here to win.” And win they did by creating dishes that included Elk Carpaccio, Seared Chili Rubbed Tenderloin, Elk Meatballs, Fajita Marinated Elk Loin, and Manchego Gougeres Stuffed Elk Liver.
