Second Annual Chef vs. Chef plans kick-off
There will be a second year for what was a successful Chef vs. Chef competition last year, and that’s all for the better.
Max’s Harvest is sponsoring the event, which kicks off June 15, and has just announced competing chefs. The cook-offs will be emceed by Executive Chef Eric Baker (pictured, Max’s Harvest and Max’s Social House), and will run for 15 weeks, until one chef is crowned winner. All of this takes place at Max’s Harvest(169 NE 2nd Ave., Delray Beach, 561/381-9970) at 9 p.m., and the cost is $5, which benefits the Milagro Center.
Here’s the list of returning chefs and new chefs. The 2015 winner, James Strine of Café Boulud, will compete against the 2016 finalist.
