Chefs’ Challenge 2010 – Sunday, September 5th
Buskirk-Chumley Theater - Competition begins at 7:00pm
Community Kitchen will hold the fourth annual Bloomington’s Chefs’ Challenge this upcoming Labor Day weekend. Based on television’s popular Iron Chef, this culinary event will feature three local chefs who will have one hour to prepare a winning dish from a pantry of ingredients. A “mystery ingredient” will be revealed right before the competition begins. BCAT film crews will show close-ups of the fast-paced action on the theater's big screen. Emcees will update the audience as the competition heats up and the celebrity judges will pick the top dish. Judging is based on the use of time, use of product, including secret ingredient, presentation and taste. Two chefs will be chosen through email voting to compete against last year’s winner, Dave Tallent of Restaurant Tallent. Watch the Herald-Times in August for a list and bios of potential competitors. Then vote for your favorite by emailing to chefchallenge@yahoo.com.
Tickets will be $25 and will be available in August at the Sunrise box office and Community Kitchen. There are only a few “Bistro” seats available for $100, which include an up close view of the competition and a sampling of each dish prepared by the chefs. You may enter the lottery to purchase Bistro tickets by emailing chefchallenge@yahoo.com now. A cash bar and hors d`oeuvres will be available. View 2008’s video clip here.
