Amidst cold January temperatures in Jacksonville, three chefs at The Players Club Sawgrass broke a sweat over a hottest contest in town.  TPC Executive Chef, Hector Gonzalez, laid down a challenge to his staff and they bite at the chance to compete for the title Top Chef.

Members and guests arrived for their first ever Club culinary competition. They savored vegetable and goat cheese ravioli with scallop mousse topped with stuffed calamari in a Pomodoro sauce, prepared by Tim Cacia. Tim’s flavorful recipe calls for braising two wine corks in the sauce, to keep the calamari from becoming tough.
