Oliverio's second annual Sorprendente at Avalon Beverly Hills was a total success with two incredible dishes being brought to light. Oliverio’s Chef Mirko Paderno and Viceroy’s Snow Mass Chef, Will Noland, went head to head for an incredible cook off dazzling the crowd with their culinary skills. Chef Mirko came out on top with his Bucatini "di Domenico's" featuring fresh crab meat, cherry candy tomatoes, crumble polenta and beer. Second place was Noland's Alaskan Halibut "Crudo" Roll with a Cabernet truffle honey reduction. Not too shabby.
