Eric Paraskevas of terra (243 S. Camac St.) and Mackenzie Hilton of Mercato (1216 Spruce St.) will take on ingredients like rattlesnake meat and red jalapenos in tonight’s episode of Food Network’s incredibly easy to watch cook-off show Chopped. It airs at 10 p.m. and again at 1 a.m. Paraskevas is doing a Victory beer dinner with an incredible-sounding menu this evening; over at Mercato’s sister restaurant Valanni (1229 Spruce St.), meanwhile, they’ll be hosting a viewing party for Hilton, with ROOT cocktails, that begins at 9:30 p.m.
Jeremy Duclut, chef at georges‘ in Wayne, took it home in an October Chopped episode that also featured Prive chef Peter Karapanagiotis and local caterer Barbara Esmonde.
