Celebrated chef Kelly Liken, of Restaurant Kelly Liken in Vail, took home the win Tuesday during the Esquire Network’s “Knife Fight, the original series and cooking competition.
The “Battle Colorado” face-off had Liken head-to-head with fellow Colorado chef Steve Redzikowski, of Oak at Fourteenth. Excerpts from the episode included a cut on Liken’s hand before she turned out two dishes that embody the essence of her culinary point of view at her restaurant.
Secret ingredients for the competition were beef heart, live Santa Barbara spot prawns and wild dandelion greens that the competitors turned into dishes presented to judges.
The two dishes that earned Liken the win and bragging rights included a beef heart tartare served with dandelion greens and a Southeast Asian style shrimp broth that featured all three ingredients.
“I was proud to represent Colorado,” Liken said. “Steve brought a great game and it was a lot of fun to cook in such a exciting setting.”
