Which chef will prevail? Chef Imbelli will be presenting chicken and mushroom pot pie, where as Chef Ghaliani enters the ring with a chicken and maitake mushroom breakfast hash.

Whose culinary magic will reign supreme? Hosts Michael Cruz and Mike Falzone will be the judges.

Which dish do you think you’d prefer? The pot pie? Or the breakfast hash? What’s your favorite way to use maitake mushroooms? Who do you think deserved to win this week’s Mushroom Chef Down?

A great chef can bring out the greatness locked within ingredients. So, in Mushroom Chef Down, we’re presenting chefs across Los Angeles with one of the most subtle and complex foods we could find (mushrooms!) and asking them to pair them with some of our favorite proteins. The chef that best showcases the ingredients wins the Chef Down, but we here at Tasted believe that we’re always winners, as long as there’s tasty food!
