Chefs Eugene Raymundo of Five Cows Restaurant and Limones fame and Rolando Laudico of Bistro Filipino fame were present to assist the two contenders.
The esteemed panel of judges included culinary doyenne Nancy Reyes Lumen, food stylist and Editor in Chief of Cook magazine, and Norman Reynoso, corporate sales and marketing head of Fabriano S. p. A., exclusive distributor of Ariston and Indesit. With a surprise list of ingredients, prepared by Monterey, the contenders created original and unique culinary masterpieces out of the basic Filipino adobo dish. The teams battled for an hour using premium electric freestanding cookers from Indesit.
“The showroom was an amazing place to hold the event. The combination of a working kitchen and a spacious locale for people to observe the competition and watch the show made for the perfect venue. We wanted a place where Atticus and Sarah could battle it out in comfort, with a location that would be appealing to our subscribers,” says Maan Ilustre, Managing Director of Uno magazine.
Gaugler admitted that she doesn’t cook. However, with Chef Raymundo’s help, she was able to cook caramelized adobo with potato fries. King and Chef Laudico, on the other hand, won the throwdown with their adobo with textured and mashed potato.
