"My favorite chef Denton took first place today in the Joe’s Market Recipe Contest through Ukrops!!!! There were 100 entries from folks throughout the Richmond area and the top 3 finalist were invited to the final judgement. We were able to sample the other 2 finalists dishes: Salmon Packet Joe and Peppered Crostini Crusted Crab Cakes with with Tropical Remoulade Sauce. Denton submitted his Cilantro Lime Shrimp with Spicy Chili Dipping Sauce and Gazpacho Verde. I’ll post the recipe at a later date when Ukrops puts it online.

A panel of 3 judges decided on the winner, one of them being the Executive Chef for all of Ukrops’ stores. After the tasting, the judges gave their commentary on each of the dishes and gave RAVE reviews for Denton’s meal, especially the Gazpacho Verde. He said, “The flavors were so “bright” and everything tasted fresh and of the season.” Afterwards, he told Denton he should look into making this a career. Although Denton is OVERLY modest about all this, we’re very proud of him and look forward to eating more of his food!!

Next stop: Iron Chef, don’t mess. "
