Deep Plate’s third “Challenge” submission is a three way competition: Potts vs. Richards vs. Lord
“Not only did we use the same plates for the challenge, we all used the same “market basket” of ingredients that one of our Sous Chefs put together.” – Keith Lord
Please remember to vote on for your favorite in the poll featured on the right through June 4th (midnight).
A special thank you to the chefs for their ongoing support.

I was wondering if we were voting on the presentation or the content and or creativity of the dish. It is my understating that this is mainly about presentation, even though what is on the plate matters also. If we are judging on presentation alone it should not have a discription….therefore you look, decide and vote. If we are judging the food, presentation, creativity etc….thats a different thing. What does everybody else think??

I feel the object of the challange is the creativity of how the chefs use the “plates” and how their food is represented by the “plate.” WHen I did my CHallange (#1) I focused on creativity and the plate presentation.
I featured the “plate” and then my food!
That seems to be the direction of these challanges.
