Olivier Desaintmartin on "Chopped" tonight

We've got a Philly representative on tonight’s episode of Food Network's Chopped: Olivier Desaintmartin, chef/owner of Caribou Café (1126 Walnut St.) and Zinc (246 S. 11th St.). A native of Champagne and card-carrying member of Maitres Cuisiniers de France, Desaintmartin first came to the States in the late '80s to work at NYC's Le Bernardin, landing in Philly and putting down roots in 1989; tonight, he'll take on three chefs from New York. The episode, which airs at 10, will apparently feature mystery ingredients like tequila and corn tortillas (what is a Frenchman to do?). Desaintmartin joins local chefs like Eric Paraskevas of Terra, Mackenzie Hilton of Mercato, Jeremy Duclut of georges', Peter Karapanagiotis (formerly of Privé) and Judson Branch of Thirteen in trying his hand on the cook-off show.
