Join Slow Food NYC and our host partner, the NYU Food Studies Program, as competitive cooks honor their personal culinary icons at the first SFNYC Classic Chef Cook-Off, a friendly, judged cooking competition and public tasting event.

Today's culinary inspirations include the ever-popular classic Julia Child, innovative farm-to-table chef and educator Dan Barber, television superstar chef Jamie Oliver and award-winning cookbook author Paula Wolfert. Come taste for yourself! Whether it's a dish from an iconic chef's repertoire or an original recipe inspired by a culinary classic.

Our panel of food experts will award prizes based on:
-The degree to which dishes reflect the work of their personal iconic Classic Chef
-Chef's use of local, seasonal, and, when appropriate, fair or direct traded ingredients
-And importantly, presentation and TASTE

Judges include chef and culinary historian Renee Marton, New York food blogger Tove Danovich and a SFNYC Snail of Approval chef.

Proceeds from this event will benefit the programs of not-for-profit Slow Food NYC, including the Urban Harvest program of good food education for kids at 17 New York City schools and a summer urban farm in East New York.
