The ACF Rhode Island Chapter and the ACF Epicurean Club of Boston met at Sid Wainer & Son on May 13, 2019 for the monthly meetup and Chef Showdown. Each two-chef team needed to create an amuse bouche and entree using a mystery basket ingredient and pantry ingredients from the Sid Wainer market. The secret ingredient: PORK

Chefs had boneless pork loin, Chinese pork sausage and shaved pork. Pork must be used in both dishes.
