The Rathbun Brothers on Iron Chef
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.
