We are thrilled to bring the heat (and fun) back in the kitchen with the return of our Healthy Chef Challenge. Held at the stunning industrial private event space, Goose Island Barrel House, this culinary competition puts the skills of talented Chicago area chefs to the test! They will have 30 minutes to make a delicious and nutritious entrée using items we offer at our food pantry. A crew of celebrity judges decides which chef does it best.

Guests will have the opportunity to watch the competition, eat, drink, and sharpen their own culinary knowledge with demonstrations by our Health Ambassadors.
