Delivery and combinations are about the only thing the boxing and restaurant worlds have in common, but fighters Danny Garcia, Lamont Peterson, Peter Quillin and Andy Lee took to Manhattan's Beauty & Essex on Wednesday to meet with "Chopped" host Ted Allen and frequent judges Scott Conant and Chris Santos.
Lamont Peterson and Danny Garcia can square off in the kitchen after they take care of business in the ring Saturday night at Barclays Center. Or they can wear those hats into the ring. Either way, we're happy.

How many more buttons was Conant planning on undoing for this photo? Seems like that should violate some kind of health code.

What judge Santos, who owns Beauty & Essex, gives up in height and reach to Lee, he more than makes up for in ability to sear a distractingly good steak.
