In what is
the Mid-Atlantic’s biggest culinary competition, the Mason Dixon Master
Chef Competition is in full swing vying chef against chef from restaurants
in the DMV (District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia).
The initial field of
16 chef teams has begun their tiered competitions. Each chef team will have 30
minutes of cold prep time, and just one hour of cooking time to create original
appetizer, entrée and dessert courses for the expert judging panel of three,
and up to 36 audience guest judges. Dishes are scored on presentation,
creativity, difficulty and taste, and at the end of each evening only one chef
team will advance to the next round.
The public is invited
to the Inn at the Colonnade
Baltimore to watch, and possibly judge the competition. Guests gathering
around the two kitchens watching the chefs and their assistants take on a
themed challenged. Matches are held
Mondays and Tuesdays throughout the summer with the championship for the title
of Mason Dixon Master Chef 2016 taking place on Sunday, August 14th.
