Tickets for Sacramento’s Premier Culinary competition are on sale just in time for the holiday season! The Sacramento Chef Challenge (previously known as the Celebrity Chef Challenge) features a head to head battle between three professional chefs, and tickets make a great gift for the amateur chef, wine connoisseur or food lover in your life.

In 2012, the Sacramento Chef Challenge will be celebrating its tenth year, and in honor of this achievement, organizers are slashing ticket prices, adding new attractions and allowing guests to determine “Whose cuisine reigns supreme!”

Chef Challengers will have three hours to prepare and serve a specialty menu based on a surprise theme. Guests will have the opportunity to sample the dishes and vote for their favorite. The event also boasts a lavish food, wine and beer show, where guests can sample from a variety of regional vendors. If all of this isn’t enough, the 2012 Sacramento Chef Challenge will include a Cake War pastry chef competition, live music, silent auction and raffle.

The Sacramento Chef Challenge will be held on Saturday, June 23, 2011 from 4pm-9pm at 6950 21st Ave in Sacramento. Tickets are $25 per person and all proceeds go to support INALLIANCE, a local nonprofit that supports people with developmental disabilities.
