Welcome Esteemed Chef competitors to the Taste of Hope Chef Competition. The Taste of Hope event was developed to continue the tradition of gathering chefs and community together to meet in comradery, battle in flame and be victorious through the art of food. All of this is done to support the battles waged at home against cancer. Thank you, chefs, for your commitment to our craft, community and the cessation of cancer. Good luck and may your plates be virtuous!
