It was a fierce but friendly competition on Sunday, April 28, 2013 at HADCO, the Viking Center The enthusiastic audience (it was a sold out event) were cheering on the talented chefs.Arturo Franco-Camacho of Tacuba, Waterhouse and Seawich Sandwich Shop; Ben Gaffney of Atticus Bookstore Cafe; and Prasad Chirnomula of Thali, Thali Too and Oaxaca Kitchen were all past winners of Iron Chef Elm City.
