The top-placing teams were Jerome Daigneault and Kendra Valliere of The Marlborough Tavern, who took third place; second-place winners were Tyler Pulsifer and Mary Quinn, Bistro on Main; and the Grand Prize winners were Jordan Krizenosky of Artisanal Burger Company and Victoria Pritchards of Fork & Fire.
