When asked about Super Bowl parties, Chef Mark replied, “The possibilities are just like the future of the Cowboys, endless! We have several packages that we offer or you can let us help you custom design one as well. Think herbed rubbed beef tenderloin with whipped horseradish, bacon wrapped shrimp and Eduardo’s famous bread pudding. A far cry from a 2 liter of soda and chips, wouldn’t you say?”

Chef Mark McDaniel of ReMARKable Affairs Catering in Dallas participated in the 1st annual American Airlines Chef Challenge on October 12. It was a great opportunity to vie against 18 of his peers and Chef Mark once again provided high quality, “clean food” produced in only 30 minutes!

The first round of the competition had contestants preparing any item with the ingredients selected by American Airlines Center and Levy Restaurants. The judging panel included a Dallas celebrity chef, Woodall, and Levy Restaurants Executive Chef Brian Johnson.

The top five contestants advanced to the finals where they were able to prepare their own Signature Offering. Finalists received four tickets to a Dallas Mavericks and a Dallas Stars game. The Chef’s Challenge champion received a luxury suite for a night to a Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars game. Additionally, the champion will make celebrity chef appearances throughout the season.

While he didn’t take 1st place, Chef Mark plans to use his experience to broaden his culinary horizons and continue networking with his other colleagues.
