The Iron Muddy Chef Challenge was held on the beautiful grounds of the Millbrook Vineyard in Millbrook, NY.  The Iron Muddy Chef Challenge is similar to the Food Networks TV show “Chopped”   On Chopped and at the Iron Muddy Chef – contestants are faced with a box of mystery ingredients.  They have no idea what they will be cooking.  For the Iron Muddy Chef contest this year, the main ingredients were – fresh Brook Trout, a large Pineapple, two artichokes, and a large can of Spam.  The primary difference between Chopped the IMCC is that we completely REMOVE THE KITCHEN.   Competitors must use only what they can carry in their Land Rover.  They must prepare, cook and serve in the field.  Contestants are given 50 minutes to prepare their dishes.
