Live from Kitchen Stadium at the Canole Residence...

This weekend, an epic cooking battle took place in the Canole kitchen. Iron Chef Jen made tacos (Saturday night) and crepes (Sunday morning). Iron Chef Pat countered with teriyaki chicken wings (Saturday night) and lamb stew (Sunday afternoon).

While neither competitor has any formal cooking training, both have been making meals at the adult, post-college level for several years now.

Let's hear what's going through their minds as they work.

Iron Chef Pat: I was a little nervous about working with lamb. I've never cooked lamb before. But, I think it's going to turn out OK.

Iron Chef Jen: Are you putting onions in everything?! You're going to stink up the whole house. You're sleeping on the couch tonight.

(Truly masters in their fields.)

And the winner is... Iron Chef Jen. The crepes put her over the top in the judges minds. They were just too good.

So there you have it. More reports as legendary battles of these culinary artists unfold. That's all for now.

Lamb's so good and so easy. Just get a nice shank (or two) and braise them with vegetables in a nice wine (or vermouth...) for a few hours until the meat falls off the bones.
