José Andrés and Carla Hall Host 10th Anniversary of DC’s Premier Chef Battle
On November 11th, 2013, join the iconic José Andrés (ThinkFoodGroup) and Carla Hall (ABC's The Chew) for the 10th Anniversary of DC Central Kitchen's premier fundraising event, the Capital Food Fight. This year, four top local chefs compete in a live on-stage battle to be judged by a panel of celebrities from the culinary world, including James Beard Award-winners Tom Colicchio (Bravo’s Top Chef), Rick Bayless (PBS’ Mexico: One Plate at a Time), Todd English (PBS' Food Trip with Todd English), and Art Smith (Cookbook author and owner of Art & Soul restaurant.) All proceeds benefit DC Central Kitchen.
The battling chefs will prepare dishes using a secret ingredient. Facing off this year are Erik Bruner-Yang (Toki Underground/Maketto), Bertrand Chemel (2941 Restaurant), Spike Gjerde (Woodberry Kitchen/Artifact Coffee), and Anthony Lombardo (1789 Restaurant.)
In addition to the live battle, attendees can sample the tastes of 75 top local restaurants, including Barmini, Béarnaise, Blue Duck Tavern, Del Campo, Equinox, Good Stuff Eatery, Jaleo, Kaz Sushi Bistro, Le Diplomate, Oyamel, Ris, The Source, Toki Underground, Vermilion and many more!
