What is a Hoe Cake?
Hoe cakes, also known as corn cakes, or johnny cakes, are a classic Southern food. They are made from cornmeal, salt, and water and are often served with butter and honey. Hoe cakes were traditionally made by farmers in the South, who would use the hoe to make them. When well-made, they have a lovely crispy edge.

About Top Chef ™
Top Chef ™ is an American reality competition television series which has run since March 2006. The show features professional chefs competing against each other in culinary challenges.
The Top Chef ™ chef-contestants are judged by a counsel of exemplary, world-renowned professional chefs and famous names from the food and wine industry.
The contestants are superb, professional chefs with a huge array of global food skills.
The show is progressive, eliminating one or two chefs each week. Each episode follows a consistent theme with (usually) a Quickfire challenge (short and fun) followed by a more difficult "Elimination Challenge" that is much more intense. The Top Chef ™ Judges Table is where the winners and losers are determined each week.
