Another grueling battle in the kitchen of Jeff versus the Bread Baker’s Apprentice. In this week’s round I had to go against Artos or one of his many variations.

The inspiration for this came dish from a restaurant in San Diego. Unfortunately I don’t remember which restaurant it was since I was pretty much in a perpetual food coma the entire trip.
