Celebrated as one of the largest culinary showdowns in Southern California the Chef of the Fest Competition at the San Diego Bay Wine + Food Festival challenges seasoned and up-and-coming chefs to put their best dish forward at the Grand Tasting. A cash prize and serious bragging rights are on the menu as chefs put forth some of the most creative and inspired dishes found at any food event in the country!
In partnership with the American Culinary Federation (ACF), a professional organization of chefs and culinarians, the Chef of the Fest competition is judged using a blind tasting format. Judges carefully taste through dishes and three finalists and category winners are announced.
Restaurants participating in the festival will be the first notified when Chef registration opens. Get your team registered to participate in the festival today!
