Next week Regal Springs Tilapia, the world’s largest producer of tilapia, will announce the winners of the tilapia recipe contest. At the beginning of the summer, the company set out to find the best, homemade tilapia meal that could be made for under $15. Nearly 300
entries were reviewed by a panel of Chicago’s ”hippest” chefs, who narrowed the field down to the final 11 finalists. (It was supposed to
be just ten, but the dishes were so delish they couldn’t decide!) On August 11th, they chose six winners to receive cash prizes, with the grand prize finalist catching $5,000.
These top chefs also discussed tips and ideas for making quality budget meals for the whole family, which we’ll cover in another post.
- Tony Priolo of Piccolo Sogno
- Roger Herring of Socca
- Chris Macchia of Coco Pazzo
- Dirk Flanigan of The Gage
Come back next week to find out who the winners are!

Hi! I was wondering if you will be posting the finalist this week or next? I’m anxious to see the winning recipes!
Thank you!
Lela,
Thank you for your quick response! To answer your question, yes I did enter the contest! It’s my first attempt at a cooking contest, and I am sooooo nervous!
Hi Katie - yes, I believe we’ll have names of all the finalists to post! Did you enter the contest? I’d love to print your recipe!
Thanks, Lela
Will all of the 11 finalists be listed? Or just the top prize winners? I believe people will want to know if they made the top 11 even if they didn’t get a prize….just my thoughts though.
