Last night, French-born Jeremy Duclut (above), of georges' in Wayne (503 W. Lancaster Ave.), bested chef Peter Karapanagiotis of Priv� (246 Market St.), Lower Merion-based caterer Barbara Esmonde and one other competitor on an episode of Food Network's Chopped. (The group filmed the show back in April of this year.) Karapanagiotis made it to the final dessert round � secret ingredients of sharp cheddar, Limoncello, parsnips and Saltines � where he was edged by Duclut, who walked with $10,000. What's he going to do with the cash? "I have a wife, I will have to ask her," he says in a statement. Aw.

Chef Peter should have won.  Jeremy was very dule, boring, and made out to be like a true frenchman, ignorent!  Peter was humble and a great and creative good, good sport, and 10 years younger than Jeremy.
