With over 22,000 votes cast nationwide, Fitzpatrick’s one-pan wonder, the Chicken Caprese Bowl, emerged victorious in a fiercely competitive field, capturing the hearts and taste buds of voters across the country.

As the Grand Prize winner, Dan will receive two domestic round-trip airline tickets to New Orleans, a two-night hotel stay, two VIP tickets to Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Tailgate, two tickets to “The Big Game” in February 2025, a personalized and signed 12 Piece Flavortown Laser Titanium Cookware set, and an exclusive Meet & Greet with the culinary icon, the Mayor of Flavortown himself, Guy Fieri.

"I’m stoked to meet Dan and celebrate his amazing Chicken Caprese Bowl at my Flavortown Tailgate party this February,” said Guy. “His winning dish captures the spirit of my new Flavortown Laser Titanium cookware… Big flavor, and a whole lotta fun.”

Faron Dexter’s Arayes dish came in second place, and Danielle Grossman’s New York Strip Steak took third place. All ten finalists will receive Flavortown Laser Titanium cookware, and their full recipes can be found at www.flavortown-cookware.com.

Earlier this year, Fieri and manufacturing partner, Mon Chateau, announced the launch of three new premium cookware lines, all made without potentially harmful chemical coatings (PFAS, PTFE, PFOA) that are prevalent across many products on the market today.

As Teflon Flu cases continue to rise, consumers looking for a healthy non-stick cooking experience should look no further than Guy’s Flavortown Laser Titanium cookware collection. The new line features cutting-edge titanium technology and a non-toxic cooking surface that is three times harder than stainless steel, dishwasher and metal utensil safe, and oven safe up to 700 degrees, making it the perfect companion for creating award winning dishes that are full of flavor and fun!

In celebration of the contest, Flavortown Cookware is offering a special promo code for $30 off the Laser Titanium 3-Piece Fry Pan set, available exclusively at www.Flavortown-Cookware.com. The code, FLAVOR30, can be used now through August 31, 2024. Ten dollars from each sale will go to Homes For Our Troops (HFOT), a nonprofit organization that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post-9/11 U.S. Veterans, to enable them to rebuild their lives.

“We are grateful to all the talented finalists and participants who submitted their delicious one-pan dishes to the 'Big Flavor, Bigger Heroes Flavortown Recipe Contest'," said Ed Cooper, Mon Chateau CEO. “This contest was a perfect blend of community spirit and a celebration of great food. We encourage everyone to join us in supporting our brave U.S. servicemen and women through Homes For Our Troops.” The full assortment is available now from individual pieces to 2, 10, and 12 piece sets at our exclusive launch partners Macy’s, macys.com, and the Amazon Store.
