As part of my silver medal award in the first official Perb Iron Chef Kitchen Stadium battle, I am required to laud accolades on the winner of the evening, the multi talented and lovely Lance Alot! I accept my 2nd place standing with modesty and would like to applaud my competitor who I suppose is now the first Perb Iron Chef (allez cuisine!). 
Our judges were meticulous in their ratings, unfortunately my ability to cook in high heels did not sway their favours more than Lance's amazing plating abilities. Thank you GolferJohn, Tia Luxx, Catherine James and a lovely other gentleman for so kindly donating their palates and discerning tastes to our evening!
On the left you have my dish: a rustic Italian gnocchi served with cherry tomatoes, chevre, walnuts and Grand padano cheese. Along side of it is a roasted chicken thigh topped with herb pesto.
On the right you have Lance's work of art: Sea bass fillet served on a sea bed of roasted purple yams (complete with cheeto coral) topped with a miso reduction (please feel free to correct me Lance, I was far too impressed to take down the exact ingredients! Our little fishy friend was accompanied by a Goldfish cracker buddy, a starfruit starfish and a lovely tomato server for extra sauce.
I'm contemplating ordering a molecular gastronomy kit so that the next battle between Lance and I can be a more leveled playing field -- if I can't beat him artistically I will beat him with science!
