The national spotlight will be shining on Saratoga Thursday night (April 29).
Spa City chefs Jeannette Liebers and Chris Bonnivier will go head to head on Food Network’s “Beat Bobby Flay” in an episode called “The Battle for Saratoga.”
The episode, which airs at 8 p.m., is years in the making. For Liebers, who is the owner/executive chef of Sweet Mimi’s Cafe and Bakery, it started in the summer of 2019. She’d always hoped that Flay would visit the cafe and in August of 2019, he stopped in for breakfast with some of her regular summer customers. He ordered a classic Saratoga sandwich (consisting of a homemade biscuit, sausage patty, Vermont cheddar cheese and eggs). After Flay was done with the meal, Liebers said she went out to greet him and give him a challenge.
