Hey, locavores! Even if you haven't been able to afford the multistarred (even the difficult-to-please
Michelin gave it
two stars), tres cher (
three courses $75, four courses $95, tasting menu $155, with two optional wine pairings for each, the cheaper called "appropriate", the better called "premium," at prices ranging from $54 to $160) cuisine served down the Peninsula at
Manresa in Los Gatos, you can see chef-owner
David Kinch go up against telegenic grill guy
Bobby Flay on next week's
Iron Chef America. For free!
The
show premieres on Sunday, March 15, at 9 p.m. (or 6 p.m. if you have satellite), on the
Food Network, with repeats scheduled on March 16 and 19.
After watching the recent Battle Redfish, where
Mourad Lahlou of San Francisco's
Aziza cleaned
Cat Cora's clock, 52 to 45, can Kinch bring glory to the Bay Area again?
As the Chairman's uncle says: A la cuisine!
