Master Chef Casting Call 2010

Here is a picture of my dish I made for the Richmond, VA Master Chef casting call.  I made a sweet Italian sausage and clam orecchiette pasta dish with a white wine and shallot sauce.  It's topped with buttered Panko and shaved parmesean (shown on the red charger).  There were about 100 contestants.  Only one made it through.  Mine did not!  I know what to expect next year, though.  This was the first year and it was a little unorganized.  We had no idea what our conditions were going to be.

And here is a shot of me and my group.  It was so much fun!!!
