The chef at Birmingham’s SAW’s Soul Kitchen and a winning barbecue competitor from Muscle Shoals finished fifth and eighth, respectively, at the World Food Championships Final Table: Indy event last month.

As the World Chef Champion in the World Food Championships Main Event, Matthew Statham won a spot in the Top 10 to compete at the Final Table. The chef and general manager of SAW’s Soul Kitchen proved he belonged there when, in the opening round, he and other competitors were asked to make a Pork and Parisian Gnocchi dish using Red Gold tomatoes and pork cuts sourced from the National Pork Board.

Working with his team, Dan Navarro Jr. and Dan Navarro III, Statham produced his “Jager Schnitzel with Parisienne Gnocchi Spaetzle, Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage,” which scored 95.25 out of 100, earning him third place and a chance to compete against the other Top 5 competitors in the second challenge.
