WNC Chefs Challenge
Join us for a battle between 14 of the area’s top chefs!
RESERVATIONS FOR THE WEEKLY CHALLENGES ARE REQUIRED!The weekly heats for the WNC Chefs Challenge take place every Tuesday, starting May 18. Fourteen chefs will pair off in head-to-head competitions at The Flying Frog Café. Each chef will have access to the same pantry, but will be given a secret ingredient the day of the event that must be featured in their culinary creations.
You decide the winner using the same guidelines as a professional food critic! Attendees will enjoy three fantastic creations from each chef, though they won’t know which chef has created each dish. Then the audience will score the dishes to determine who advances to the final competition. Reservations (required) to these culinary events are only $39 per guest (not including drinks, tax, and gratuity).
When only two chefs remain, they will battle it out on Saturday, August 14, in an Iron Chef-style competition during the WNC Magazine Asheville Wine & Food Festival Grand Tasting held at the Expo Center on the WNC Agricultural Grounds Campus near the Asheville Regional Airport.
