Top Chef

What happens when four local execs team with four Tom Douglas Restaurants chefs in a culinary battle to draw attention to hunger in King County? A lively evening of food, frenzy and fundraising at United Way of King County’s annual Top Chef and Exec event.

The evening begins with a quick-fire challenge, followed by a 30-minute challenge to create the best dish using foods typically found at food banks. Chef emcee Tom Douglas and celebrity judges combine taste and total dollars raised to select the top chef team.

Top Chef and Exec centers on raising awareness of hunger, and all proceeds from the event benefit United Way’s work to end hunger in King County. Check back for details about future Top Chef and Exec events!
