Thanks to the 70 chefs who submitted recipes in our wild boar recipe contest!

Last week, we selected four finalists.  And, last Friday our Executive Chef prepared those four recipes for our judges.  

The four finalists are:

Finalist #1: Black & Tan Sirloin, Shank Confit & Southern Fried
by Chef Dean Thomas of Barona Valley Ranch Restaurant in Lakeside, CA

Finalist #2: Wild Boar Ragu with Paparadelle
by Jason Weiner of Almond Restaurant in Bridgehampton, NY

Finalist #3: Roulade of Wild Boar Rack
by Ed Matthews of One Block West in Winchester, VA

Finalist #4: Roast Loin of Wild Boar w/Apricots, Apples & Prunes
by James Canora of Delmonico’s in New York City

All four recipes were delicious and plated beautifully.  The decision was difficult.  But, we had to choose a winner.

THE WINNER: Roulade of Wild Boar Rack by Chef Ed Matthews

Chef Ed will receive a check for $500.
