LIGHTS OUT FOR MATT CARTER
The Dish
We’ve never been pulled in so many food-event directions as this past weekend. But we knew that the EATERAZ sponsored cooking demos at The Big Pour (which took place throughout the weekend) had to get inked on the sched, especially with performing chefs that included True Food Kitchen‘s Michael Stebner, who discussed the evils of butter, and Petite Maison’s James Porter, who preached that frog’s legs are the “new chicken wings.”
Each one was better than the next, but it was Zinc Bistro/Mission/Nine|05 wunderkind Matt Carter, who definitely won MVC.
Usually this honor might go to Carter for his award-winning fare. But this time, it was due to his relentless determination Thursday night to finish his demo right through a total loss of power as he was searing some Berkshire Pork.
Completely un-fazed, he just kept on engaging the crowd, passing out shots of his chosen pairing beer. At one point, he had his comrade-in-arms and Zinc head chef, Rochelle Daniel, at the ready to hop the fence to borrow a pair of hot plates from neighboring Metro Brasserie, if need be.
As it turns out, event organizers got the juice back on and Carter successfully “powered” through the incident. As the shot above shows, the crowd was happy to wait with him.
