Ending its nationwide search for the hottest new food trend, US Foods declared Chef Sean Frye’s savory jumbo shrimp and lump crab “hushpuppies” the winner of its Next Top Product contest. After a head-to-head cook off against two competing finalists, Chef Frye’s Cajun hushpuppies prevailed as the crowd favorite and received the highest score at the US Foods Fall Food Lovers Forum. As the winner, Chef Frye has the opportunity to have his recipe appear on menus nationwide when US Foods unveils the next Chef’s Line product in the spring, in addition to receiving $20,000 in cash and prizes.
“There’s no question that my customers at Shuck N Jive enjoy these hushpuppies every day,” said Chef Frye. “Now, US Foods has provided me with a way to share one of Richardson, Texas’ favorite recipes with diners across the country.”
