Battle of the Chefs will take place tomorrow, June 1 at Founder's Hall in Ridgefield. Tickets are still available, click here to purchase. HamletHub is excited to report that our Redding HamletHub editor will be on the scene and will share event highlights with us!
Three chefs will match sharp knives and quick wits in an exciting culinary showdown to benefit Founders Hall on June 1 from 4-7 pm.
Chefs Forrest Pasternack of Bailey's Backyard, Matt Storch of The Match in Norwalk, and Jeff Taibe of The Whelk and LeFarm in Westport will open a basket of surprise ingredients in front of an audience of over 200 and, in just 40 minutes, vie to create the winning entrée, as judged by a panel of food experts.
In addition to enjoying an open bar and variety of hors d'oeuvres, all audience members will taste and judge appetizers prepared by the three chefs. People who purchase tasting table tickets will taste all three entrees. Guests can also bid for a seat on the judging panel, and join a dessert competition, which is open to all amateur and professional bakers.
Tickets are available at www.founders-hall.org or by calling 203-431-7000. All proceeds from this rollicking, mouth-watering, soul-satisfying extravaganza will help provide life-long learning to over 3,200 people.
Event sponsors: Fairfield County Bank and The Chefs' Warehouse.
