Chef Kayla Pfeiffer is no stranger to cooking on a stage. During her stint on Fifth Avenue South, she recalled weekend events that would close the entire street, and she would take center stage going step by step through countless recipes as event-goers watched. More recently, on an episode of The Food Network’s “Chopped” that aired Jan. 9, Pfeiffer took on an even bigger stage. She impressed the judges with za’atar-crusted alligator hearts, roasted squab and her take on monkey bread, and ultimately took home the victory over her competitors.
