Jersey Shore chef into the Elite Eight on Food Network's 'Tournament of Champions'

Tuckerton's Chef Britt Rescigno has made it to the third round of Food Network's "Tournament of Champions."

In a close battle with Philadelphia's renowned Darnell "SuperChef" Ferguson, Rescigno won Guy Fieri's "Surf and Turf" challenge with a full champagne brunch, featuring eggs, hash (with ground carrots, onion and garlic), lobster tails and long bone ribeye — all topped with an aromatic lobster-based sauce that she called "really rich and super dank."

“It doesn’t get much better than that,” she said. “It’s all about making yummy, sexy food.”

She is now one of the final eight contestants.

Local fans are ecstatic, with an outpouring of support on social media.

One commented on Instagram, "You're killing it! I've been watching you rise [through] the ranks on Food Network. So happy for you! You know what you are doing in the kitchen. You're a keeper! Way to go."

Another said, "I honestly screamed when you won! Rooting for you! You're so genuine and caring. I'm here for it."

“The amount of people who have reached out to me [has] been incredible, it’s hard to keep up,” Rescigno said about the recognition. “It’s crazy that people take time out of their days to watch me, to watch me do my career.”

She is in the running to take home the $100,000 prize, plus the coveted "TOC" belt.

This up-and-comer is no stranger to beloved cooking, or Food Network wins. She held residency at Beach Haven's Delaware Avenue Oyster House for three years, and won other Food Network competitions, including "Guy's Grocery Games" on Feb. 15.
