Canned Sedona, to be held October 1, 2017 at Tlaquepaque, is a cooking competition based on “Chopped”, a television series featured on the Food Network. Charities will be represented by local Amateur Chefs who will compete in a cook-off equipped with a barbeque grill and a basket of mystery ingredients. Entertainment, wine tasting, and food will be offered for the attendee’s enjoyment.
Admission is a canned food item for the Sedona Food Bank plus a small donation. The attendee gets to choose which charity their admission donation goes to. The winning chef will receive bragging rights and a gift basket full of goodies!
Applications are also being accepted from local Amateur Chefs for the competition. If you’ve dreamed of hearing those words’ “Chefs, open your baskets”, now is the time to step forward and show the community what you’ve got. There will be an elimination round prior to the event to narrow the field to the Chef finalists. Each Chef will be assigned a charity that they will represent.
