The first second-round match-up in the Fire in the Triangle competition took place last night at 1705 Prime in a very close battle.
Four Square chef Shane Ingram took on Adam Rose of Il Palio in the "Iron Chef" style event.
The secret ingredients were Siberian Sturgeon and Perfect Puree!
Guests were treated to a six course meal - three dishes from each chef. Diners and judges were not told which chef made which dish. Voting was done on a dish-by-dish basis via smartphone.
Here's a rundown of the courses:
First course: Confit of Sturgeon Salad with Roasted Peaches, Green Beans, Perfect Puree Guava & Black Quinoa Dressing (Four Square)
Second course: Milk Poached Veal Eye Round with Sturgeon Aioli, Perfect Puree Green Apple, Original Sin Mustard Vinaigrette & Capers (Il Palio) - Highest scoring dish of the night.
Third course: Mangalitsa Bacon Wrapped Carolina Sturgeon with Pesto, Crab, Creamed Corn, Sweet & Sour Peppers & Sturgeon Cracklins (Four Square)

Fifth course: Vanilla Chiffon with Lemon Cream, Mint Pickled Sturgeon & Honey Apple Perfect Puree (Four Square)
Sixth course: Goat Cheese Panna Cotta with Perfect Puree Stone Fruit & Vodka Soup, Candied Sturgeon, Roasted Pistachios & Mint (Il Palio)
