We will randomly split the group into four teams of four people, and each team will compete for two rounds; an appetizer and entree.
Similar to the TV show Chopped, each team will receive a basket of 3 mystery ingredients. Teams will have five (5) minutes to plan their dish and then thirty (30) minutes to execute. Teams will have access to the pantry and spice rack to enhance their dish.
Plates will be judged on taste, use of ingredients and presentation.

At the conclusion of the event we will have a Salted Caramel Brownie for dessert.
Results and winners are announced after each round. We will randomly appoint two judges from the teams for each round. One of the Chef Coordinators from Chef Alyssa's Kitchen will on hand to guide the judges
