There is just something so comforting in the dish of the New Sous', something I needed and would have ordered to get me through tax day. I think New Sous had me at the "stuffed with chorizo" actually. Though the presentation vote would go to The Chef.<br /><br />So the battle for me goes to New Sous since that meal is something I would probably order for myself.<br /><br />Now if I could just taste them to make a real assessment :)Mrs. Lhttp://watkinslynn.typepad.com/pages_pucks_and_pantry/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32288436.post-15417108506386494002009-04-16T08:23:00.000-04:002009-04-16T08:23:00.000-04:00This sounds like so much fun!

I do Iron Chef competitions with my friends all the time, but doing it in a professional kitchen sounds like tons of fun!<br /><br />"I like answers that tell a story and let me get a little glimpse into their twisted minds, (they work in a kitchen, their minds are inherently twisted… we’re an odd bunch). I dislike answers like “I don’t know.”"<-- Totally agreed with this. I'm a writer, and I sometimes request that people "tell me a story" to get my mind rolling. It can be anything, but that can be daunting for some people. I hate when people reply, "I don't know!"<br /><br />As for my vote, everything looks delicious, but the first thing that jumped out at me (ooh! what's that???) was the sous' croquette.
