Portland Restaurant Owner Dominates On Food Network’s Chopped

Natalie DiBenedetto had a secret for over a year, she had not only competed and dominated on Chopped, taking home $10,000. DiBenedetto moved to Maine and opened Figgy's 4 years ago looking for a fresh start. Figgy's is a take-out cast-iron fried chicken restaurant in Portland and DiBenedetto says the hardest part about participating on Chopped was not telling anyone. They filmed the episode over a year ago and it didn't air until Tuesday. Congratulations Natalie on all your successes.
