Launched last year, this fundraiser for Miami Valley Meals returns on Tuesday, Sept 19th at Top of the Market. Diced in Dayton is an interactive, food-filled event that showcases and celebrates the creativity of local chefs as they craft unique dishes from a set of mystery ingredients. Guests vote for their favorite and the two chefs who get the most votes will compete “Chopped” style to create a dish from a box of ingredients they are given right then and there. A panel of judges will evaluate the final two dishes and declare a winner.
Featured chefs so far are from Corner Kitchen, The Golden Lamb, Kungfubbq Lansangan, De’Lish Cafe, Blind Dogs Dayton, Rich Taste Catering, RED BERRY, Bella Sorella Pizza Co., LLC, Crusin’ Cuisine Food Truck & Creative Delight’s Catering, Napales, with a couple more to be added.
