"NEW" Sneak Attack Chef series is cookin'

You won't find a foodie show on cable any better than these segments presented by Shipyard Brewery. The laid back demeanor of host Jim Bellisle, (Shipyard's N.H. Rep.), and our in-house videographer Ben Keller's efforts are outdone only by the delectable creations of the chefs they visit.

Chefs Terry Remier of The Blue Mermaid Island Grill in Portsmouth and Justin Lyonnais from The Commercial Street Fishery in Manchester are delicious to watch as they incorporate XXX IPA and Longfellow Winter Ale into dishes ranging from a gouda fondu to drunken shrimp.

Both chefs pull together phenomenal plates. Their skilled hands suggest years at perfecting their craft, yet the enthusiasm for trying something new is quite evident.
