The battle will take place at the Shore Club in Miami at 7 pm on Saturday, March 16th.

Photographer and freelancer Josh Reynolds came out to 3 Scoops this weekend to document the Iron Chef style battle between Biz Markie and I. His slide show on Boston.com has highlights from the night.

"Boston-based chef and cookbook author Wheeler del Torro worked on pot of vegetarian sweet potato and black truffle sloppy joes during a chef battle with hip-hop artist and Yo Gabba Gabba! contributor Biz Markie at 3 Scoops Cafe in Brighton on Jan. 26. The event aimed to raise money for the ice cream shop."
