Chef Robert Butler from Paris Las Vegas with assistant chef Lowell McCain won the competition with a two-bread encased pulled pork. [Butler] "won $50,000 for the title on top of the $10,000 he'd won in the preliminary Best Sandwich contest that took him to the Final Table Robert was one of seven chefs competing at the Final Table. As host Adam Richman of the Food Network and Travel Channel said: 'This is not about fine dining, but all about comfort foods.'" [LVS]
