Dean & DeLuca Features Counter Culture Coffee in Iron Chef-style Competition

Dean & Deluca executive chefs just prior to the start of their Iron Chef Battle Coffee competition.

2-10-10

Our friends at Dean & DeLuca recently invited five of their executive chefs from around the country to New York for an Iron Chef-inspired battle of culinary artistry and skill. Much to our surprise and delight, Counter Culture Coffee was revealed as the “secret” ingredient the chefs were instructed to use in every one of their five dishes! Delicious, creative highlights included seared scallops with French lentils and a coffee-citrus sauce; beef with a coffee and chili rub with Romanesco vegetables in coffee oil; and fresh berries with a coffee-infused mascarpone.

Read more about the event, including the results, at Dean & DeLuca’s Gourmet Food Blog.

Best,
Mark

Finca El Puente
Catuai
Counter Culture Direct Trade Certified
Finca El Puente is a special coffee and truly close to our hearts. We discovered it on our very first trip to Honduras, fell in love with it then, and have been head over heels ever since. Moisés Herrera and Marysabel Caballero – the couple who run the farm – have become like family, and this year they continued the tradition of refining an already-great coffee. This harvest of Finca El Puente brings lighter purple-lavender and plum notes, black cherry, sugar cane sweetness, and toasted nut in the finish. View map.

Regularly $15.75

$14.75 (per 12 oz bag)
