Join us for a HOT competition in support of a COOL cause! Chef Showdown will feature chefs from two local restaurants competing to create a three-course meal for a panel of judges with the assistance of local "celebrity" sous chefs. The twist: all of the food must come from the Loaves & Fishes market and the chefs only have ONE hour to compete in our makeshift kitchens!

Guests will get to watch the kitchen competition while enjoying heavy hors d'oeuvres from Loaves & Fishes event partner My Chef Catering. The evening will be capped off with an exciting raise the paddle event to provide support for struggling families in our community.

Want to get close to the action? "Feel the Heat" seats allow guests to be close to the fun by providing a front row seat to the competition! Sold in tables of four, guests with "Feel the Heat" seats will be able to enjoy their choice of a premium bottle of red or white wine while witnessing the incredible creativity of the chef teams!

In contrast, the "Chill Out Chairs" give guests the opportunity to kick back and relax at a comfortable reserved table that is situated away from the "heat" of the kitchen! Also sold in tables of four, "Chill Out Chairs" provide a casual environment to engage in tasty food, premier chilled champagne, and conversation. Both the "Feel the Heat" seats and "Chill Out Chairs" have limited availability, so be sure to act fast to secure these exciting tables!
