Iron Chef San Jose (Winter 2008): Chocolate



















Dessert Edition! I knew this would be a tough one for me, personally, given my limited baking experience. But it was fun regardless! More newbies (specifically, Frenchman) - so I knew the competition would be fierce.

Congrats to the winners! It's been a great year. Like I said tonight, we've had diversity in the champions so I'm proud to say that everyone has "made" it this year! Thanks for everyone's effort this year - you've definitely made some good meals for me. :)
