The Loaves & Fishes Chef Showdown event is back and once again promises to be an electrifying culinary experience! Community participants are invited to enter the playing field and witness local chefs from two revered restaurants go head-to-head in a thrilling – and delicious – culinary battle! Within a one-hour period, these culinary virtuosos will create scrumptious three-course masterpieces, all while under the discerning gaze of a distinguished panel of judges.
Utilizing the freshest ingredients sourced from Loaves & Fishes’ very own market, the competition is set within the heart of our Aurora warehouse, which will be expertly transformed into a unique kitchen. To add to the fun, each culinary artist will be joined by two renowned “celebrity sous chefs,” thus adding some star power to an already glamorous line-up!
On the night of Thursday, April 17th from 6-9pm, attendees should prepare to be amazed by the talented head chefs from Entourage and Mesón Sabika. The following sous chefs will accompany the esteemed chefs: Adam Fuchs of Wintrust Commercial Banking, Kristen Refness of Endeavor Health, Karen Wells of Make-A-Wish Foundation and Dustin Wilson of Duly Health & Care. While watching the hot rivalry, guests will be treated to an array of delicious delights from My Chef Catering, ensuring an unforgettable experience from start to finish!
Chef Showdown is more than just a culinary competition – this event helps Loaves & Fishes raise funds for struggling individuals and families within our community. Make sure to secure your tickets early! This popular event attracts over 200 guests who are eager to not only witness the unique and friendly competition but are also ready to have some fun!
