On Saturday, Feb. 27th, 6 - 9:30 pm, Stubb's outdoor stage in downtown Austin will turn into a kitchen arena where three of the state's highest profile chefs will battle it out, each choosing a preferred ingredient to stump their competitors' culinary prowess. The chefs will create a dish that includes all three of the chef-picked ingredients which could range from diverse edibles such as grapefruit to cauliflower to oysters.
Audience participants and a panel of noted culinary experts will sample the dishes and use live text voting to determine the winning chef. The DJ, el john Selector, will be spinning bad-to-the-bone soul, funk and world beats to keep the tempo pumping until final votes have been cast.
Once the winner is announced, the evening melds into a rockin' live concert with Charanga Cakewalk, a seven-piece Latin band featuring master multi-instrumentalist Michael Ramos and known for pan-Latin tunes that dive into deep, urban grooves.
On tap for the chef throwdown are three of Texas' youngest and most acclaimed chefs - David Bull, named as one of Food & Wine magazine's Top Ten Best New Chefs in 2003 and who is now Bolla's executive chef at the Stoneleigh Hotel in Dallas; Shawn Cirkiel, executive chef of Austin's Parkside Restaurant, recently named by Bon Appetit magazine as one of the "Hot 10 New American Taverns"; and Paul Petersen, star of TLC's BBQ Pitmasters and author of Keeper of the Flame Interactive Cookbook. Petersen was also former executive chef of Café Cenzio at the Gage Hotel.
A live video feed will project all of the kitchen stage action onto Stubb's stage canopy so the audience can see close-ups of the food preparation as well as the live feed for the text voting results.
