You asked for it: Score a Coveted Judge Spot at Naperville's Premier Culinary Competition

Be a part of our 6th Annual Chef Showdown with the hottest seat in the house -- at the judge's table! You'll get to experience a three-course meal from 2 premier local restaurants as they go head-to-head in a (friendly!) culinary competition. Only 4 people get to sample the delicious dishes at Chef Showdown and you could be one of them!
