WNC Chefs Challenge 2010 Each Tuesday in Asheville

May 25, 6:30 PM , Competitions at the Flying Frog Cafe,1 Battery Park Ave, Asheville North Carolina -  Asheville Final at the Expo Center on the WNC Agricultural Grounds. The weekly heats for the WNC Chefs Challenge take place every Tuesday, starting May 18. Fourteen chefs will pair off in head-to-head and 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, without knowing which chef has created each dish, and 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).  Make Your Reservations For The Weekly Challenges Here!

The final  two chefs 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.
