Rail Paul Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 The Bergen Record mentions a contest sponsored by Baldor Foods to introduce a new blend of beef for burgers. It was a tough competition with several high end chefs playing for their favorite charities. Chef Nick Gatti took top honors in what seems to be an abundance of very interesting burger recipes. The chefs used several different kinds of rolls (kaiser, brioche, Martin's, etc), different meat mixes, bacon and other toppings like ramp mayo, etc. Lots of creativity for a good cause. Congratulations, Nick! Nicholas Gatti – Alpine Country Club Sweet Buttered 6.5 ounce Beef Patty made from bench trimmings with the addition of Prime Chuck and Prime Dry Aged Loin Tails & 2 ounces of Prime Dry-Aged Loin per Patty 1/8 inch thick Leidy’s Slab Bacon Crumbled Stilton Cheese Red Onion Heirloom Tomato Lightly Buttered Martin’s Potato Roll Sauces made with dots of straight Heinz catsup, dots of Maille Pommery mustard and dots of our own sauce consisting of Hellman’s mayo, squeezed out Gold’s Horseradish and a small amount of Sriracha sauce.

Rail Paul Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 The burger cook-off was a charity event, with cash prizes donated to the charities recommended by the win place and show chefs in this match. The beneficiary of Nick's win was Table to Table, a food aid organization for northern NJ.

ngatti Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Prego. I'm glad to have fit this in. Working next to Carolyn Flynn (former Four Seasons alum) was a special treat. Nobody at the event liked my joke about Country Clubs, Aging Chefs and Elephants Graveyards. Oh well Table to Table is the Bergen, Passaic, Hudson and Essex version of City Harvest. Suzanne F--very funny Thanks again all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
