• Tony Mantuano with Kim Swan, owner of The Danforth Inn

It was as if Samson and Goliath were on very friendly terms at Carmen at the Danforth on Wednesday evening, when formidable - but gentle giant - Chicago chef Tony Mantuano, of the 4-star Spiaggia, joined the diminutive and equally formidable chef Carmen Gonzalez in the kitchen at the Portland newcomer. The two met as competitors on Top Chef Masters, Season 2. While they collaborated to execute a multi-course feast and visited with guests, the chefs were also being filmed by the crew for Gonzalez' upcoming TV show, La Chispa de Chef Carmen.
