Chef Joey named Green Market MasterChef at West Palm Beach event
Summary
At the West Palm Beach Green Market MasterChef Showcase, five finalists competed before a panel of judges including Mayor Keith James; Chef Joey of Palm Beach Catering won first place, event organizers said.
Chef Joey, of Palm Beach Catering, was announced as the winner of the West Palm Beach Green Market MasterChef Showcase during the event at the Green Market.
The contest featured five finalists who cooked on-site using a list of required ingredients while judges — including Mayor Keith James — tasted and questioned the competitors. "Our Green Market Master Chef is chef Joey," said Cheryl Conn, reporting for WPB TV, as the winner was announced.
Organizers and the reporter described the finalists’ dishes in detail: examples mentioned included a pink pineapple paired with a beef-tallow waffle, crispy shiitake with crispy potatoes, and a charred New York shrimp prepared with a torch-rosemary garnish. Judges sampled each course, sipped and took notes while spectators watched; some stayed throughout the event and others passed by.
The showcase is billed as the finale after weeks of competition among area chefs. Event organizers presented the live cooking format and required-ingredient constraint as part of the contest rules; the transcript did not specify prize amounts or judging criteria beyond on-site tasting and questioning. The announcement of Chef Joey as the returning champion concluded the contest coverage in the recorded segment.
Cheryl Conn closed the segment on camera, identifying herself as the reporter for WPB TV.
