Congrats to West Marlborough's own Melissa Grafton Marino, executive chef at Saloon 151 in West Chester. The dish that Melissa and her team created, "bacon-bourbon meatball with spicy mango pica and dill crème fraiche," took first place in the Chef's Best Competition at the West Chester University Alumni & Foundation Center, a March 22 fundraiser for the nonprofit group ACT in Faith of Greater West Chester.
Saloon 151's winning entry was the popular favorite, winning out over Bar Avalon's Sgagliozze (fried polenta bruschetta) prepared two ways: whipped ricotta and eggplant caponata; sauteed mushrooms and crab ragout; Mercato Ristorante and Bar's Arancini and short rib paccheri; and The Social: Southern Scratch Kitchen and Bar's ancho-crusted char-grilled diver scallop with avocado mousse.
ACT in Faith is an interfaith organization that helps West Chester residents "to stabilize their households and build toward sustainability."
