Chef Carla Hall Announces Fancy Feast Winner

Share with fellow cat lovers!

Next June, look for a new flavor of Fancy Feast® Elegant Medleys® Gourmet Cat Food inspired by the winning entry in the Fancy Feast® TasteMakers™ Contest, an event judged by chef Carla Hall – co-host of ABC’s “The Chew,” a finalist on Bravo’s “Top Chef” and proud owner of an adopted cat, Alchemy.

The winner was Joan Spector of Coconut Grove, Florida. Her “Purrrfect Sushi” entry have been selected to help inspire the next variety of Fancy Feast® Elegant Medleys® Gourmet Cat Food.

“Joan’s entry, ‘Purrrfect Sushi’, included a recipe with a delightful combination of ingredients with flavors that cats are going to love,” said Hall, who judged the finalists’ entries.

“Her story behind her recipe really expressed the devotion she has for her cats. Now, her entry will help inspire a delectable new Fancy Feast Elegant Medleys entree for all cats to enjoy.”

The winner’s recipe combined two of her cats’ favorite tastes — tuna and shrimp — along with wild rice in gravy. Spector’s cats, two rescues named Ginger and Wasabi moved her to create a recipe that reflected her cats’ “love of all things fish.”

Spector says, “Wasabi is a kisser, not a biter like his hot, hot namesake.” As the Grand Prize winner, Spector has won $10,000 plus a one-year supply of Fancy Feast Elegant Medleys Gourmet Cat Food. In addition, her entry will help inspire the next Fancy Feast Elegant Medleys entree.
