In addition to Anthony's, Clay Chamber President Jon Cantrell, Jenn Beaudry of B-Cool Air Conditioning and Heating, Courtney Hoard of Grumpy's Restaurant Middleburg and Geraldine Hartin of Hamilton and Hartin, P.A., judged a round of fresh desserts from three other teams: R&R Elite Catering, The Hilltop Restaurant, the Rolling Stoves and Event Divas.
