Today I was in a Food Challenge at the New Hazlett Theatre for a very good cause. It was for a local support group ncmin.org. The challenge was for each chef to make a brunch appetizer using only items found in a Community Food Pantry. I took Biscuit Dough mix and stuffed each portion with Diced Canned Ham, Quarters of Canned Potatoes, a spread of Canned Cream Corn and then rolled them in French Fried Onions before baking. I used 100% Community Food Pantry Items. I lost…. of course :/ …...I lost to a stuffed Pork Loin Appetizer. I guess I misunderstood the meaning of Community Food Pantry. Or maybe it is just my Sour Grapes :( I was ok losing to a great organization called the Springboard Kitchens. This organizations helps get people back on their feet by training them to cook and get a career in food service. I will definitely be giving them a call. sbkpgh.org
