"Who says a feather boa doesn’t belong in the kitchen," says Angela Shelf Medearis, a.k.a. The Kitchen Diva. Although known for her zany sense of humor and her award-winning children’s books, what makes Angela really special is her passion and skill for jerk chicken. The Diva is in for a surprise when Bobby rolls up on her family picnic for a Jerk Chicken Throwdown. Will it be Bobby’s spicy dry rub or Kitchen Diva’s hot marinade that takes the top prize? A group of tough judges in a blind taste test will be the ones to dole out the highest honor.
