Cattle Shed Chef Olivia Hurst Wins Food Network’s Chopped
Congratulations to Cattle Shed Wine & Steak Bar chef Olivia Hurst who won her episode of Food Network’s “Chopped.” The competition was stiff against notable executive chefs Jose Pena of The Iberian Pig in Atlanta, Jonathan Shuler of Dilworth Tasting Room in Charlotte and Alex Gregoire of MGM Resorts International in Las Vegas. Hurst wowed the judges with three winning dishes: little neck clams in a pineapple cream sauce, BBQ Cornish hen leg with baba ghanoush, and a chokeberry and chocolate turnover with sugared zucchini coins. The episode aired on Food Network on Oct. 25. The schedule for upcoming airings can be found online.
“This was an exciting opportunity to compete against some amazing chefs, represent Cattle Shed and give Food Network viewers a glimpse of some of the interesting dishes that inspire me,” says Hurst, who has worked at several top Atlanta restaurants including Buckhead Life Restaurant Group’s Atlanta Fish Market and Kyma. In addition to her “Chopped” win, Hurst has been featured on “Atlanta Eats” and in Food and Wine.
