Farm to Chef competition coming up

farm to chef eventMore than 30 Baltimore area chefs will partner with local farms to create recipes they hope will impress a panel of judges who will pick the most creative dish. Guests will also get to decide who deserves a People's Choice award.

The Farm to Chef event takes place at the American Visionary Art Museum on Sept. 24 at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $90 and can be purchased online.

And it's all for a good cause. The culinary competition benefits Days of Taste, a program that teaches elementary-school children about taste and how food travels from farm to table. It's an initiative of The American Institute of Wine and Food Baltimore, the event's sponsor.

In addition to the bounty of food, The Baltimore Bartenders Guild will be mixing up a variety of cocktails, using fresh produce from local farms.
