Peninsula wins Tailgate Chef’s Challenge at The Undertow
Grill Sergeants earn third consecutive People’s Choice Award

The team from the restaurant at The Peninsula Golf Club won the golden ticket to this fall’s World Food Championship in Indianapolis and a cop and a landscaper from Orange Beach combined to win the People’s Choice award at the 12th Annual Tailgate Chef’s Challenge hosted by The Undertow Bar & Grill in Orange Beach. The event, coordinated by Undertow general manager Joe Coe, raised funds for the Children’s Rescue Initiative.
Kurtis Krum, Calib Pritchard, Dustin Spray and Maegan Belmonte  from The Peninsula wowed event judges with their seared pork belly burnt ends served over smoked macaroni and cheese with fresh pepper relish. The Grill Sergeants – local landscaper Brad Johnson and his OBPD employed friend Bryan Johnson – served ahi tuna burgers and smoked bourbon pecan pie to win to win their third straight People’s Choice award in local competitions. The Grill Sergeants came within .05 points of winning the overall title at the Undertow.
