"I leapt into the national food scene in 2017, when I was selected to compete on the Food Network show Cooks vs. Cons. Despite having no professional experience, I beat two experienced chefs to win the show and a $10,000 grand prize. The experience set into motion a very exciting year for me that included winning a national recipe contest and competing in the world’s largest food sport event, the World Food Championships," she writes on her website.

But because Brittany is not at a restaurant or other place where we can all try this award-winning food, she put together a prix fixe tasting menu that featured some of these greatest hits!

I was excited to meet up with friends Katie and Todd to enjoy all of these delicious dishes.

And, honestly, everything was so good. But perhaps some of my favorites were the catfish - because I've never been a fan of catfish. The soup blew me away with flavor; I didn't know chicken soup could taste like this. And the steam bun and rangoon are things that I would routinely order from any restaurant if they were available. So, if you can catch one of her future dinners, do not miss out.
