with Jordan Urnovitz

We welcome the AZ Republic 2016 Top Home Chef to meet our Hackett House guests.  Although we have greeted and tasted the foods of the previous three top home chefs, Jordan is the first who had to win his title in a tie-breaker with another contestant.  Josh Hebert of Posh in Scottsdale was enlisted to be the impartial judge.  Jordan’s blend of Middle Eastern flavors won the title of Top Home Chef with Fesenjoon, a Persian braised chicken thigh dish over a bed of mejadra topped with pomegranate seeds and mint.  Sound interesting?  Join us to see what Jordan devises for our dinner on the patio.
