Chef Britt Rescigno, formerly of New Gretna and Tuckerton, lost in the semifinal round of the Food Network’s “Tournament of Champions” that aired Sunday night.

Rescigno lost to New York City chef Maneet Chauhan. Host Guy Fieri commended her as a “dragon slayer,” “taking out heavy hitters all the way” to the Final Four. Ultimately California’s Mei Lin won the “TOC” belt and $100,000 grand prize.
