Three dishes, two competitors and just one winner.
In a fierce, but fun culinary showdown, Pittsburgh's Chef Todd Cassell and Cheff Alekka Sweeney are battling it out for bragging rights, Plate It's tomato trophy and a $500 prize donation for a charity of their choice.
Sweeney is a longtime private chef, and Cassell is an executive chef at The Vault Taproom in Pittsburgh's Southside neighborhood.
In this episode, Plate It's host and Pittsburgh food blogger, Dave Foreman, pushes the local chefs to get creative, and incorporate the spirit of Pittsburgh into their dishes, but with a special twist.
Both competitors are sourcing their ingredients for the challenge from Farmers' Market Cooperative, of East Liberty. According to the market's website, it is the only year-round market and the oldest continuously operating market in Western Pennsylvania beginning 80 years ago.
