HOT(el) Chef Throwdown
A Special Culinary Event for Hotel Chefs
Our 3rd Annual HOT(el) Chef Throwdown in July 2023 was a great success!
In partnership with the World Food Championships and Dallas College, we gave of our best chefs a chance to show off their talents and help us raise money for future members of the hospitality industry. The best part? Those chefs duked it out to earn a “golden ticket” to compete in this year’s World Food Championship, November 8-12th at Dallas' Fair Park.
Check out our video slideshow from our 2023 Throwdown!
It was a heated competition and there were even some tiebreakers. The nine highest-scoring Chefs won a golden ticket into the World Food Championships' category of his/her choice. In addition to free entry into the Ultimate Food Fight in November, the top three highest-scoring Chefs won a cash prize!
