The only rule is that teams must use at least 2 ingredients from the Red Stick Farmers Market (one must be a fruit or vegetable). In addition to the judging portions, teams must provide a minimum of 200, 2 oz. bite-sized samples (dishes will be provided). Visitors to the event who purchase a Tasting Bracelet can then sample your food. > What are the prizes? Bragging rights and more...details soon! > How do I enter? The entry fee is $100/team, and there's no limit to the number of team members. Once entered, each team will receive $20 in Market tokens to shop for local ingredients with the farmers.

quote: I believe you're only asked to put out 200 portions total, so you can divvy that up however you want. Additionally, you can submit up to 3 dishes, but you can stick with just one. Reply • Back to Top |

I'll be out there - not sure if I'll have a team because of schedule, but I'm looking forward to it. It's cool to take the family downtown on Saturday mornings anyway, and this will be fun.
