Spotlight: Mike Andrzejewski

On last Thursday's episode of the Food Network's Beat Bobby Flay, Mike Andrzejewski of Buffalo, New York, beat Anthony Nelson, a chef from Washington, D.C., in a preliminary round involving shishito peppers. Then, Andrzejewski (the chef-owner of SeaBar and Cantina Loco) defeated Iron Chef Bobby Flay in a loco moco cook-off. (Loco moco is a dish that consists of beef, fried rice, eggs, and gravy served in a heap.) Andrzejewski's win against Flay is the latest achievement in his impressive career, which includes participation in the Taste of the NFL and perfect 10 ratings from food critics. Andrzejewski, who hosted a Beat Bobby Flay watch party at SeaBar, has a prosthetic left leg because he lost his leg in a motorcycle accident years ago. His accomplishments show a disability doesn't stop some people from achieving their goals.
