Atria Senior
Living Community of Bethlehem challenged Colonial Regional Police Department Chief Roy Seiple
and special guest Andrew Lawatsch to the fifth annual chef showdown July 18.
Specifically, a “Competition to Separate the Mild from the en Fuego in a Test
of Culinary Chops.” Atria’s chef and culinary service director Daniel Azan,
Lawatsch and defending champion Seiple faced off with only one rule - all
recipes must include an ingredient flavored with both the sweet and spicy: the
pepper. The competition was judged by Atria Bethlehem residents, guests from
Colonial Regional Police Department and the public. The winner received a
fantastic pepper trophy. Photo: All three of the competitors, Atria chef Daniel
