Chef Matthew Reed of Reed’s Catering took home the Best in Show Award at last week’s Fęte Rouge chef’s competition.
Reed won for his “Twins Duet”—an homage to his newly-born twins—which featured a girl’s plate of Holden strawberry shortbread with a Chambord and Mayhaw milkshake as well as a boy’s plate of Guinness vanilla ice cream and house-made Feaux Ore-eaux. The dishes also took first place in the dessert category.
For Reed, who placed third in the meat category at last year’s festivities, the win is still a bit surreal, and he was humbled by the victory.
