This weekend’s Austin FOOD & WINE Festival highlight was demo from Chef Graham Elliot & Chef Merlin Verrier.  Consummate comedians who love food, they had the crowd in stitches, while whipping up their version of two American classics.

With quick wit and repartee, the two chefs played off one another like they were brothers from another motha.Chef Elliot is well-known for his love of music and delighted those in attendance a taste of his dance moves, as Guns N Roses Welcome to the Jungle played for the crowd.

Make sure to come out for 2014’s Austin FOOD & WINE Festival next April!  Stay tuned for my wrap-up coverage for The Daily Meal later this week.  If you traveling to Chicago make sure to head over to one of Chef Graham Elliot’s restaurants which includes:

• Graham Elliot (earned 2 Michelin stars)
• Grahamwich
• Graham Elliot Bistro (g.e.b. for short)

I know it will certainly be a stop I make on my next trip to Chicago!
