Chefs and foodies hankering for a little toque-to-toque combat will get their wish beginning Wednesday, June 17, when Max’s Harvest (169 N.E. Second Ave., Delray Beach, 561/381-9970) hosts Chef vs. Chef, a battle of culinary gladiators modeled after the edgy cable TV cooking show, Knife Fight.
Participating chefs will get a basket of “mystery ingredients” to use in the creation of several dishes, with the winners facing off against each other in a bracket-style competition, a la the NCAA college basketball tournament. A panel of foodies and press types will judge, with the overall winner getting an as yet unspecified grand prize and a portion of the proceeds going to a local charity.
Ten bucks will get you into the peanut gallery for the competition so you can cheer on your favorite chef and find out whose cuisine reigns supreme.
Interested chefs should email Honey Ackermann at honey@themaxgroup.comand include their bio and contact info. A draw party will be held at the restaurant on Wednesday, June 3.
