Keith Woolford Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 The premiere of Top Chef, a TV competition to select the best chef in Panama, will be broadcast this evening at 8:30 on Telemetro. It's in Spanish, but there should be lots to pick up on even for Anglophones. http://www.telemetro.com/topchef/ There is also a Top Chef App available.

Keith Woolford Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 The Top Chef program has become a very popular reality show in Panama. Last night culminated the second season and the winner is Luis Mendizábal of Chiriqui, the former chef/owner of Cuatro in David. Presentation of the $25,000 first prize by show host and chef/owner of the Hotel Panamonte, Charlie Collins.

Keith Woolford Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 I'm thinking Alison might have won this thing with her Fried Fer-de-Lance dish or Venomless Egg Drop Soup made from fresh local ingredients. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundageba Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Awe shucks...thanks Keith. I'll have to say the instant Sancocho soup pack and egg with one piece of snake tasted pretty good . The breading on the snake...great! BUT unlike a rattle snake or Boa the Fer de Lance has no meat. Beats me how the damn thing strikes from 3 feet away . I've never seen an animal with so little flesh. See that sliver of meat in Bills teeth there.? Ok that's it.... Strip that off and that's one side. Were it not for the greasy breading you'd leave the table starving after consuming a 7 1/2 ft Fer de Lance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) I'm not surprised. Cuatro had some great food. If I remember correctly, Luis studied at the New York Culinary Institute. Edited August 1, 2017 by Bonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoSailors Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 It's actually called the Culinary Institute of America. The other CIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
