'Top Chef' showdown at Chopping Block

Photobucket

If you're like 312DD, you've been having some serious "Top Chef" withdrawals.

So, thank the lord for The Chopping Block, which hosts a head-to-head competition between the culinary show's fifth season finalists Carla "Hootie Hoo!" Hall and Stefan "The Arrogant Finnish" Richter.

We'll finally get to see who should've won as they square off in the fifth-annual True Flavor Celebrity Cook-Off, benefiting True Child, a national organization supporting disadvantaged children.

Hall, owner and chef of Alchemy Caterers in Washington, D.C., and Richter, owner of Stefan's Catering in Santa Monica, Calif., each will lead a team consisting of a local chef and an audience sous chef (determined by live auction).

Both teams will have 35 minutes to make a three-course meal with secret ingredients they will only learn of moments before the contest. And local chefs participating in the competition include Heather Terhune (Atwood Café), Luca Corazzina (312 Chicago) and Chris Lateano (South Water Kitchen).

Event occurs 6-9pm April 4. $150. Get tix here.

Hi 312DD,

Thanks for the shout out about the True Flavors Cook-off with Carla and Stefan! Just wanted to make sure you knew that True Child's mission is to help all children break through stereotypes so they can be true to themselves and reach their full potential - all kids, not just disadvantaged ones. It's an issue all of us have had to deal with and a cause anyone can stand behind!

Thanks again!
