A unique jazz fusion band will compliment the wafting aromas of delectable gluttony. So good it’s almost sinful.
This year, the 2009 and 2010 Two Time Champion, Chef Rick Alabaugh, will be taking on two of North Central Florida’s best challengers at the Hilton of Ocala.
The secret ingredient will be revealed to each chef in a 15 minute stagger start. Each chef will then have one (1) hour to complete a three course meal, consisting of an appetizer, entrée, and desert, with all dishes utilizing the secret ingredient. The competition will be broadcast throughout the venue on closed circuit television in real time.
Meet this year’s competitors here.
