6th Annual Challenge Recap
Skillets were flying on Friday, June 6, 2008 at the Sixth Annual Celebrity Chef Challenge as eight of Sacramento’s finest chefs competed in front of a live audience to determine whose cuisine reigns supreme!
Guests from all over the valley gathered at Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg for the extravaganza which included the cooking competition, lavish food show, local beer and wine sampling and much more. The more than $20,000 raised from the event will go towards enhancing The Preschool Project at InAlliance which includes building a state of the art inclusive preschool for children with developmental disabilities.
Old sugar Mill once again proved to be the perfect venue for a perfect affair. A special thanks goes to John Carvalho and the Carvalho Family of Wines for generously donating the facility for the evening. More than 500 guests ate and drank the night away as Amateur Challenger Chevo Ramirez of Wells Fargo competed against the areas finest chefs by creating three Fabulous dishes in 45 minutes using five surprise ingredients provided by Mani Imports, Pacific Fresh Seafood, Produce Express and Preferred Meats.
This year, guests were able to take full advantage of the relaxing Delta by stopping at the Mellow Me Out Day Spa booth, where Sonia Lucas and her crew provided complementary massages. Live music filled the air compliments of Harpist Pamela Pamperin and Ronnie and the Cabana Boys.
