The 51³Ô¹Ï is about to hit the friendly skies. This week, we were thrilled to host "The Cabin Pressure Cook Off", a new culinary competition that has Delta Air Lines partnering with Food & Wine magazine.
Four former Food & Wine "Best New Chefs" went head to head in our kitchens, vying for the chance to consult with Delta on menus for flights departing Atlanta.
- Hugh Acheson of Empire State South in Atlanta and Five & Ten and The National in Athens, Ga.
- Linton Hopkins of Restaurant Eugene and Holeman & Finch Public House in Atlanta.
- Kelly English of Restaurant Iris and The Second Line in Memphis, Tenn., and Kelly English Steakhouse in St. Louis.
- George Mendes of ALDEA in New York.
The competition will be aired as a four-part series on Delta Air Lines (among other broadcast outlets). So you just may see it on your next flight!
