The stage is set. An epic battle of barbecue roasts ignites down the East Coast when a peck of Delaware peaches lands at the feet of cannabis chef Charlotte Bennett.
The fires roar to life as Clinton Tuckerman sets her up in a culinary showdown that seals her fate. She whisks fresh cream, sugar, and a duck yolk with a vanilla pod over medium heat - just until bubbles form around the edge. Peaches simmer with a splash of whiskey as she blooms around the pot. A tablespoon of butter thickens the plot. In a flurry come those candied sweet potatoes, carrying a grandmother's recipe strong enough to bring a man to his knees - and that much closer to defeat - as Charlotte folds her rich slurry into the ice cream machine, fully aware she's about to win this thing.
Just when you think the battle of barbecue couldn't get any hotter, in walks Chef Bones of TenderBones Ribshack with a pork picnic that'll make your taste buds sing! Slathered in his signature peachy barbecue sauce, it'll leave you longing for those hot, sultry nights under a Middletown, Delaware sunset - with a glass of peach iced tea to seal the deal.
Think you've got what it takes to take down Charlotte Bennett in the kitchen?
Tag your name. Set the date.
Tell me, Chef - are you ready for a little teaser?
