Here’s your 2023 Chefs Take a Stand Lineup! 

The following 23 local leaders and chefs will take a stand against domestic violence with us and whip up some delicious dishes to raise funds to support our Aid to Victims of Violence program.

This year, you’ll have the opportunity to vote for the best home chef, professional chef, and overall chef, in addition to the best appetizer, entree, and dessert.

Few tickets are left, and the price will increase to $55 on Wednesday, 9/27.
