<p>In April 2010&nbsp;I went up against 14 other chefs in the Dallas - Fort Worth area&nbsp;in a one pot stage cooking competition. The format for this type of competition requires that the dish be cooked entirely in a single pot and that nothing come&nbsp;out of the pot until the dish is plated. I prepared crawfish and shrimp jambalaya&nbsp;with homemade andouille sausage and okra. It was a fun competition and guess&nbsp;who took home a gold medal!!! I actually got second place in the whole&nbsp;competition but because it is based on points, everyone is eligible for a gold&nbsp;medal. Only two of us received the gold. I can't wait to participate again!!!</p>
<p>Thanks for the support everyone!</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.pmaddens.com/accolades/rss-comments-entry-11057826.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Recipe for Success</title><dc:creator>Maddens Casual Gourmet</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 03 Aug 2009 21:13:00 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.pmaddens.com/accolades/2009/8/3/recipe-for-success.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">813601:10006592:11057551</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><br />June 1st will mark four years since Madden&rsquo;s Casual Gourmet opened its doors, and it all started with one phone call Peter Madden nearly didn&rsquo;t make....&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pmaddens.com/recipe-for-success/">Full Article</a></p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.pmaddens.com/accolades/rss-comments-entry-11057551.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
