Fill The Grill at Whole Foods Market!

What are you doing the next two Tuesday nights?

Come join the fun at Whole Foods Market in Jacksonville for the second, then final round of their Fill The Grill competition - with host Eden Kendall of 99.9 Gator Country.

Celebrity chefs get $20 and 20 minutes to shop for a full meal to cook for three judges - all on the grill. The winners of the first two rounds face one another for the final round August 20.

Week one saw rowdy Mark Kaye from 95.1 WAPE edge out the lovely Melissa Ross from 89.9 WJCT by just ONE point. This after an early mishap which caused his grill to loose all heat! Amazing comeback. 

Melissa Ross made a wonderfully light
and flavorful marinated grilled shrimp
with a fennel salad, crusty bread
 and a grilled peach topped
with creme fraiche - superb!
Mark Kaye grilled a chicken breast topped with
prosciutto and cheese, grilled zucchini
and portobello mushroom topping a
simple salad, and garnished with a grilled
lemon and red pepper heart.

Both dishes were delicious and worthy of the win.  I am one of the three judges, so I can tell you that with certainty! Can't wait for this Tuesday - 6:30 pm - to see Julie Watkins from Action News Jax will face off against Steve Sutton from Gator Country

MAKE MY DINNER!

Did I mention the winner gets $1000 for the charity of their choice?

And did I mention the staff at Whole Foods Market will be passing free samples of their grill-worthy foods? Win-Win!

See you Tuesday!
