Master Chef Submission Picture


This Sunday I will attend an open casting call for a new show called Master Chef.  I'e decided to bring Teriyaki glazed Mahi-Mahi with ginger cream sauce and mango salsa.  Mark and I spent the weeked either testing the recipe or shopping for containers to keep the food warm for 4+hours.  Once you get called you only have 5 minutes to plate the dish...no time to reheat or cook.  We found different sizes of thermos food containers that claim to keep food hot for up to 7 hours.  We did a test and tried the cream sauce and rice after 4 hours and both were still hot.  Very cool.  Now, I just need to finish the 10 page application and pack everything up I'll need.  Sunday morning will be a challenge as I have to cook the dish, which included BBQ'ing the Mahi-Mahi before heading out to San Francisco around 9am.
