It's so sweet that the Checkers wanted to cook ME dinner. 💅 Photo: Alexandria Sands/Axios
Charlotte Checkers star forward Jack Devine is this year's winner of the annual Chopped Challenge.
Why it matters: He and chef Orlando Evans won a $5,000 donation from the Checkers and Queen City Homestore to Veterans Bridge Home, the charity of Devine's choice.
💠My thought bubble: Devine's fried catfish dish stood out to the judges (a panel of media folks, including myself) for its whipped potatoes and impressive concealment of the Clorox-tasting secret ingredient, a pickled lemon.
