The Gold Rush Fun Run is a fundraising event for INALLIANCE, a nonprofit organization that helps people with developmental disabilities work, live and thrive in the community. But, the Gold Rush Fun Run is not the only fundraiser INALLIANCE hosts. On June, 23, 2012 INALLIANCE will celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Sacramento Chef Challenge, a culinary extravaganza you won’t want to miss.
In an effort to get our Fun Run participants involved in the festivities, we are going to share updates about the Chef Challenge with you as June 23rd approaches. Hope you will enjoy the show!
The battle lines have been drawn. Our chefs are sharpening their skills. They will be prepared to whisk away the competition on June 23rd at the 10th Annual Sacramento Chef Challenge.
Your 2012 Sacramento Chef Challengers are:
Chef Kristela Nazario-Mendozar of Pyramid Brewery
Chef Keith Erickson of Colusa Casino Resort
Chef Philippe Caillot of the Institue of Technology
Here are the rules:
Chef Challengers, and a team of assistants, will have three hours to create an original three item menu based on a theme that includes three specialty ingredients.
Chef Challengers will need to create enough samples of each dish so that each of our guests and a secret judging panel can taste the entire menu.
Chef Challengers will also spend time answering guest questions, explaining culinary techniques and promoting their menus to the audience.
Both guests and the judging panel will vote for their favorite based on Taste & Quality, Originality, Connection to Theme, Overall Presentation, Personality & Theatrics.
The 2012 theme is “Hot Summer Nights,” and the specialty ingredients will be revealed soon, so check back soon for more details, and make sure you get your tickets to our region’s premier food, beer and wine event before they are gone!
