Kelly Liken on Iron Chef tonight
Local chef to appear on Food Network’s competitive cooking TV show By Geoff Mintz Mountaineer Staff Writer Local chef Kelly Liken made an appearance over the weekend on the Food Network’s hit TV show Iron Chef America, which will re-air tonight at 7 p.m. The show pits a challenger chef – Liken in this case – against one of the resident “Iron Chefs” in a one-hour cooking competition based on a theme ingredient. “Iron Chef is something I wanted to do for a while,” Liken said. “It was so much fun – pretty crazy. I call it cardio cooking.” For Liken, owner and executive chef at Restaurant Kelly Liken in Vail Village, the key ingredient was Blue Cheese, which was revealed just before the battle and had to be included in each of the five dishes she prepared. “I love blue cheese; it’s probably my favorite cheese,” she said. “If I was going to get any sort of cheese as the key ingredient, that was probably the right one to get.” Liken competed alongside two sous chefs Hunter Smith and Matt Limbaugh, also from Restaurant Kelly Liken. The team challenged resident chef Jose Garces, owner of six restaurants in Philadelphia and one in Chicago. A formidable opponent with a home court advantage, he was named best chef in the Mid-Atlantic region by the James Beard Foundation. The episode was filmed back in October, and Liken was contractually prevented from telling anyone that she would appear on the show until a month ago. “This was a giant opportunity for me as a chef, so it was really tough not talking about it,” she said. “I signed a non-disclosure, so legally I couldn’t talk about the outcome. But, at the same time, for my friends and family, I didn’t want to ruin the surprise.” Her favorite dish that they prepared for the competition was the butternut squash soup with the blue cheese croquet. “It was a really sweet soup with a salty and pungent
garnish. I thought it was a really great combination of flavors and a great way to start a meal. I think that one was probably the best,” she said. If she could do it all over again, Liken would tone down the fourth course – a pork tenderloin dish, which she says came out a little too spicy for the average customer. But, on the whole, she was really pleased with the entire menu. Because a lot of people may have missed the original airing, we’re not going to ruin the ending for you. Tune in to the Food Network tonight at 7 p.m. to see the whole show.
