On Saturday, February 2nd, Executive Chef Brian Poe of Poe’s Kitchen at the Rattlesnake will kick off “Burrito Bowl III.” This culinary competition brings together some of Boston’s best chefs to determine whose burrito creation reigns supreme. In honor of the following day’s Super Bowl XLVII, each chef will create a signature burrito reflecting the city of their favorite NFL team. Each burrito creation will be served up “bowl-style” and rated by attendees as well as special guest “referees.”

Chefs in the running for ultimate burrito brilliance include the following representatives: Tremont 647’s Andy Husbands; Poe’s Kitchen at the Rattlesnake’s Shawn Russell; Estelle’s Southern Cuisine’s Eric Gburski; The Tip Tap Room’s Brian Poe; Taranta’s Jose Duarte; Church’s Josh Rush; Boloco’s Jason Hutchinson; and, Burrito Bowl II reigning champ Brian Roche of Lolita.

Our esteemed celebrity referees are Jenny Johnson, Producer & Co-Host of NECN’s “TV Diner with Billy & Jenny”; Dan McCarthy, Boston Editor, UrbanDaddy; and Scott Kearnan: Freelance Lifestyle & Food Writer.
