Culinary Fight Club Atlanta was at again! The Sip + Bite battle brought chefs together to create The Perfect Pairing. This time we watched as they paired expertly prepared bites with delicious homemade cocktails.
Culinary Fight Club is a non profit organization that hosts cooking competitions all across the United States. All of the proceeds go to Fight2Feed.org. The venue generally provides Nosh and beer/wine. The Chefs provide delicious bites for everyone to taste. There are official judges who make their choice for the top chef. Attendees get tickets and get to make a Taster’s Choice decision on who the winners are by dropping their tickets in the ballot box of the chef of their choice. Each event has a different theme.
Sip + Bite, The Perfect Pairing
The host restaurant for Sip + Bite was Jai Ho Indian Kitchen & Bar, located in the heart of midtown. Not only did they provide a sweet shaded area for the competition but they served delicious Nosh from their menu.
Our judges were as follows:
Judge Chip Reed – National Sales Director Seaside Grown
Judge Scott Switzer – Chef/Owner Barbacoa
Judge Laurend Abraham – North America Brand Manager Padre Azul Tequila
We had three Chefs in the house:
Chef Linwood Kennedy
Chef/Owner Eliza’s Catering, Jonesboro
Chef Cory Hinton
Executive Chef, The House of Romance
Chef Tommy Rothwell
Executive Chef, Pour Kitchen + Bar
and special guest judge, Tarvia McPherson

Culinary Fight Club events are always different. It brings people from all walks of life together for an evening of food and fun.
This Sip + Bite competition was different because of the cocktail that was included. If you think you won’t leave here with a full stomach, you better think again. The chefs always make plenty for everyone!
Congratulations to our winners!
Congrats the Judges Choice winner Chef Tommy Rothwell!! His Amberjack BITE certainly looked AND tasted delicious and that Peach/Blood Orange Margarita?! Oh MY!! A Match Made in Heaven!
Congrats to Taster’s Choice Winner, Chef Cory Hinton! He brought his A game and created a perfect BITE with his Blackened Fish. His SIP of choice, a classic Mojito, it was a crowd favorite!
