As reported in The Times-Picayune, yet another New Orleanian has proven the superiority of the city’s cooks on national television. Anne Leonard, an instructor at the New Orleans School of Cooking, took home the $10,000 top prize on the Wednesday (Nov. 18) “Thanksgiving Throw Down” episode of “Clash of the Grandmas” on the Food Network.The camaraderie among the women was really wonderful,” Leonard said in a press release. “Overall, it was an incredible experience.”
Leonard went through four rounds on the show, competing against four other grandmothers in making the best Thanksgiving meal. Her winning dish was Apple Pie Bread Pudding.
A portion of her winnings will be donated to a girls’ home in Haiti, Shelby’s House, established in 2013 in memory of her granddaughter Shelby, who died from lymphoma at age 15.
