As anyone who has watched the movie “The Princess Bride” can tell you, there are a few classic blunders you can make. The most famous is that you should never get involved in a land war in Asia. Only slightly less well-known is this: Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
A third: Never compete against Jamie Usro in a cooking throw-down when osso buco is the dish.
Urso, a cook for the Tampa Fire Department, defeated Tim Creehan, a chef for California-based Dynamic Cooking Systems during a charity cook-off May 21 at Florida Builder Appliances on Waters Avenue in Tampa. The event was a benefit for Camp Hopetake, a summer camp for burned children.
Urso’s osso buco was served with green olives on a bed of orzo. Creehan served his with a vegetable mirepoix and cheesy polenta. I was lucky to be one of the judges. I have a great job.
