KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The KSHB 41 News team competed head-to-head Saturday in the 2023 Anchor Cook-Off at Nebraska Furniture Mart, sponsored by Traeger Grills.
Anchors and reporters with KSHB 41 paired up and got to work to grill up some good-eats.
This year's teams were:
- Two-time champions Charlie Keegan and Rae Daniel
- Daisha Jones and Daniela Leon
- Cameron Taylor and Grant Stephens
- Lauren Scott and Mick Shaffer
- Lindsay Shively and Taylor Hemness
After an afternoon of hard work, morning anchors Shively and Hemness took home the golden spatula, bringing the heat with their pizza burgers.
Former champions Daniel and Keegan came close to snatching a third golden spatula, but fell just short in second place. Their East Meets West Barbecue Burger still wowed the judges.
The three remaining teams brought some unique flavors to the grill.
Stephens and Taylor placed third with their Sweet and Heat burger.
Jones and Leon also brought some heat, delivering a Jalapeño burger to the judges, which ultimately landed in fourth.
Finally, Scott and Shaffer combined American and Korean flavors with their Kimchi Burger.
