The 2008 Madison Dueling Chef competition took place at the Madison Food and Wine Show this weekend.  The Dueling Chef competition featured Madison’s finest chefs, battling it out for the title of Culinary Conqueror.

This year’s winner was a very deserving Chef Charles Lazzareschi from the Dayton Street Grille at the Madison Concourse Hotel. The mystery ingredient for the finale was decadent American Kobe Beef Flat Iron Steak.

Madison Dining Online was on hand for judging the competition on Saturday, and we’ll post commentary, photos and even video soon, so check back!

Congratulations again to Chef Charles Lazzareschi, Madison’s 2008 Culinary Conqueror and winner of the Madison Food and Wine Show’s Dueling Chef.
