WFAA throws down a cooking challenge. Tre Wilcox wins it with a TKO.

WFAA's Mike Castelucci gave Top Chef alum Tre Wilcox a challenge: Cook a gourmet meal for 6 people for under $10. The challenge had another dimension to it. Tre had to spend his $10 at the $.99 store.

Did you know that the $.99 store had produce and meats?! I had no idea!

This would be a daunting task for any chef or home cook, but Tre rose to occasion and took this challenge head on. I was one of the invited guests who had a front row seat at Tre's downtown condo for this little experiment.
