The April meeting of The Middle Tennessee Chapter of the American Culinary Foundation was held at the Yazoo Beer Brewing Company April 19, 2010. At this meeting the chefs had a contest to create an entree or dessert item using Yazoo Beer. Chef/Owner Rick Kahre of J & M Catering entered a Lemon Pound Cake recipe using a Yazoo hefeweizen beer. He concentrated the beer and used it in place of water, creating a moist, fragrant cake with a unique texture. His creativeness won Rick first place for his entry and a $200 prize.
