Almost every food charity/tasting event has a Top Chef-themed showdown as entertainment these days, but props to those who get actual Top Chef contestants to participate. A recent NY event pit season two winner Ilan Hall against season three winner Hung Huynh, with judge Ted Allen no less. The chefs had to come up with three dishes and a cocktail with ingredients like ostrich meat, Nesquick chocolate milk mix, peanuts, and canned salmon. Ah, if only everything in live could harness the genius of the quickfire. [Eater NY]
