2024 DISTINGUISHED
CHEFS COOK-OFF

Sunday, June 2 | The Commissary & Mercantile on Main

IT’S TIME. THE LONG-AWAITED RETURN OF OUR CHEFS COOK-OFF IS FINALLY HERE!

Our ever-popular, food-tasting event is back and better than ever. Join us as we take over the Commissary and the Mercantile on Main on Sunday, June 2 from 2-6 pm. It’s part of our Homecoming Weekend, as we celebrate 45 years of our Black Scholars program.

Tickle your taste buds for a great cause and enjoy food samplings from dozens of chefs across our area. We’ll have live entertainment, special guest chefs, a cash bar, and plenty of food to sample!

  • Buy a single ticket ($50) or reserve a quaint, cocktail table for four guests with priority seating ($250). While you’re there, consider a donation to help cover the ticket price for a community member!

  • Are you a chef (professional or hobbyist) and want to show off your culinary skills? There’s still room for you!

  • Want to highlight your business at our Homecoming Weekend events? We’ve got options.
