In March of 2009, the Deep Plate Blog initiated its first ever Deep Plate Challenge. Chef Jason Ziobrowski, Corporate Chef Eastern Region for Indian Harvest, challenged Chef Jason Shillinglaw, Executive Chef of the Providence Country Club. See who won.
Both meals were amazing, and we'd like to offer a special thank you to both chefs for their support in helping launch the Deep Plate Challenge feature. The voting was close, but Chef Shillinglaw prevailed by pulling out a close victory of 52 percent vs. 48 percent. Only nine votes separated the two participants.
Let's see their courses.
