Vishwesh Bhatt is heading to New Orleans to compete in The Great American Seafood Cook Off on August 7th.  Now in its seventh year, it has featured many celebrity chefs as well as some up and coming, rising star chefs.  The event emphasizes the importance of cooking with domestic seafood and encourages the support of American fisherman and local economies.

Vish was asked to compete after his Gold Medal win in the Mississippi Seafood Cook Off earlier this summer.  With the State gold behind him, he follows John Currence’s footsteps as winner of the 2008 Great American Seafood Cook Off.  Best of luck Vish!
