Four former Food & Wine "Best New Chefs" went head to head in our kitchens, vying for the chance to consult with Delta on menus for flights departing Atlanta. 

The four chefs face-off in ICE's teaching kitchens.

The competition will be aired as a four-part series on Delta Air Lines (among other broadcast outlets). So you just may see it on your next flight!

The competition, which will air later this year, was judged by Michelle Bernstein, Andrea Immer Robinson, David Swinghamer and Christina Grdovic.
