We’re berry proud of The Parish owner-chef Travis Peters for his victory at the California Giant Berry Farms 2019 Chef Invitational.

The competition invited chefs to showcase their skills and ingenuity with berry recipes. As a finalist, Peters was invited to the Tehama Golf Club in Monterey, California to show off his Blueberry Sweet Tea Quail in Raspberry Barbecue Sauce.

Peters announced the victory on social media:
