Island chefs face off using mystery pantry ingredients inspired by items commonly donated to the food pantry. Their challenge: transform a typical weekly pantry distribution—along with a few of the seasonal and specialty items we offer throughout the year—into a standout entrée worthy of our celebrity-chef judges.
The evening begins with a lively reception featuring hors d’oeuvres prepared by chefs from the competing restaurants, with a cash bar available throughout the event. As the competition concludes, guests will enjoy decadent desserts generously provided by our host, the JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort. Don’t miss this unique celebration of creativity, community, and culinary talent.
