“To restore the land one must live and work in a place.
To work in a place is to work with others.
People who work together in a place become a community,
and a community, in time, grows a culture.
To work on behalf of the wild is to restore culture.”
-- Gary Snyder

[6:30pm] WNC Chefs Challenge Weekly Battle
- Description:
- WNC Chefs Challenge
Join us for a battle between 14 of the area's top chefs!
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. Tickets 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.
