Not a wrinkle in any of it and that's quite a bit to ask of a waitress on a Saturday night. We can't wait to go back. I recommend EVERYTHING.

Lakeport restaurant 2nd in 'Great Chef' contest

The inaugural Maker's Mark "Mark of a Great Chef" competition to find the best chef/mixologist team in New Hampshire came down to the plucky newcomer and the venerable veteran.

And in the end, by a thin margin, Wentworth by the Sea in Newcastle edged out Lakeport's own O Steaks and Seafood for best use of Maker's Mark bourbon in food and drink in the five-restaurant field that also included Cotton in Manchester; C.R. Sparks in Bedford and Buckleys Great Steaks in Merrimack.

"From what I understand, it was real close," said Andy Juhasz, O's head chef, on Tuesday.

Juhasz along with Chef and Owner Scott Ouellette, Sous Chef Paul Conlon and Bartender Elemer David made up the O's team which served up a "Maker's Mark pepper-encrusted rack of elk" and a "Star Hill Martini." Wentworth by the Sea won with its maple and Maker's Mark glazed pork chop and ginger Old Fashioned Manhattan.
