Calling all Culinary Masters!
"If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen..." and get down to the 17th Street Farmers' Market for the very first Shockoe Chef Showdown!
So, you think you have what it takes to compete for title of Top Chef in Richmond's River District?
Competition will be hot with judges and patrons taste-testing three different dish categories: Meat-based dish, Vegetarian-based dish, and Dessert -
not to mention a Market Basket showdown where chefs will compete "Iron Chef"-style!
For more information, call 804.646.0477 or 804.646.5633!
Make it a day at the Market! Following the events of the Shockoe Chef Showdown, the City of Richmond's 17th Street Farmers' Market is going to the birds! Flock to the Market to witness a very rare urban phenomenon as 10,000 Purple Martins roost at sunset!
A Purple Martini, anyone? Local participating restaurants will have drink & dinner specials, plus there will be FREE PURPLE ICE CREAM and on-site information available about the birds that call Shockoe Bottom their home for one month each summer.
