Iron Chef 2010 Update The room was packed on Saturday evening, May 22nd. Over 480 guests came together to raise funds for Children’s Relief Nursery at the 9th Annual Portland’s Original Iron Chef event. The event was enormously successful and will help over 128 children from 86 families who benefit from the Nursery’s child abuse and neglect prevention services.
And the Winner Is…. Adam Sappington (The Country Cat Dinnerhouse and Bar) won the Iron Chef title for the second year in a row! And the People’s Choice winner was Chris Thompson (Iorio Restaurant); Chris will compete against Adam in next year’s Iron Chef competition. Special thanks go to the other competing chefs: Andrew Garrett (Cafe Nell), Ben Bettinger (Beaker & Flask), and Gregory Denton (Metrovino).
