A Bristol Chef in a National Competition

An East Bay local makes his mark in the culinary world

Posted

Rizwan Ahmed, owner and top chef of the sophisticated Hourglass Brasserie in Bristol, has provided quality, upscale French cuisine to restaurant goers since the venue’s inception. However, his reputation of profound skill as a chef extends beyond just his establishment. Called on to represent the state of Rhode Island by Gov. Chafee, Chef Ahmed will be putting those skills to the test on August 3, at the famous Great American Seafood Cook Off in Louisiana, an event sponsored by NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). This will be the first time RI will be represented in this prestigious event that revolves around seafood sustainability, and Chef Ahmed will be using sustainably harvested pollock to showcase at the competition. If he offers the same innovative and flavorful dishes that Hourglass Brasserie is known for, then those other contestants better watch out.
