Congrats to the Round 2 winners of the McCain SureCrisp Showdown!
In Round 2 we challenged 32 chefs to get creative by using McCain SureCrisp Waffle Fries as the center of a plate with accompaniments. These 16 chefs impressed the judges and will be moving on to phase 2 of the competition where they will create 2 more dishes using SureCrisp fries for the opportunity to continue on in the competition for the chance to win a Meglio knife, a Chef’s Roll Apparel Knife Roll, and a top-of-the-line Polyscience Control Freak! Congratulations and good luck, chefs! Your next 2 entries are due by Thursday, March 24th!
