Chef and Owner of the Perfect Caper restaurant in Punta Gorda, Jeanie Roland, astounded judges with her signature mussels dish and beat celebrity chef Bobby Flay last night on the nationally televised TV show "Beat Bobby Flay."
After defeating New York chef, Becca Richards, in a preliminary round Roland went head-to-head with her mussels dish complemented by her well-liked french fries cooked in duck fat. Celebrity chefs Katie Lee and Robert Irvine gave moral support to Jeanie as she cooked off vs. Flay.
In the initial round against Becca Richards, Jeanie delivered a perfect rib eye steak over polenta. While the polenta Roland chose to accompany the steak was a slight miss, the rib eye, the key ingredient was better cooked than her competitor's. Irvine pointed out to Roland after she won the initial competition that she was chosen because it was felt she could beat Bobby.
The show gave national exposure to Roland's restaurant in Punta Gorda.
