Alessi presents 'In The Kitchen': Mark Decarlo

CHICAGO -- In our segment "In the Kitchen," we challenge cooks of all walks of life to create a dish using the ingredients we give them. We unveil which ingredients they use at the top of the show and they have to create a dish by the time we get to their segment.

Today's "In the Kitchen" contestant is WCL contributor Mark DeCarlo! His passion for food makes him a perfect choice for our challenge.

We set out Alessi products that must be used, one protein and some kitchen staples then the cook needs to work their magic!

Our Friends at Alessi sent Mark and a lucky member of our studio audience home with a gift basket of goodies. Visit their website for all the Alessi products: http://alessifoods.com/.
