Highlights and Details Twenty premier chefs, each appointed by his or her state&amp;#039;s governor, competed for the illustrious title of 2007 King or Queen of American Seafood by preparing a seafood dish using their local cooking style. The primary criterion for the contest was that the chefs must use seafood harvested from U.S. waters in their dishes. After Day 1 of the event, six contestants moved on to the final challenge, which was to create a home-style dish in just 45 minutes using one of two secret ingredients or both: cornflakes and/or Michelob beer. Proving he was up to the challenge, Chef Tim Thomas of Georgia wowed the judges by lacing wild Georgia shrimp ratatouille with a lightly floral Michelob Wheat Brew.
