Angie discussed this year’s CanStruction, which is a design-build competition for charity where giant structures are built entirely out of cans of food then donated to the Covenant House’s Food Pantry. This years build in March 23rd, with opportunity for viewing from March 24-28, 2018 at the Clay Center.
Then the 8th Annual Chef’s Challenge will unfold on March 27th at the Clay Center from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m.
Chef Paul talked about the new twist this year. It is not a sit down 5-course meal, more of a dine-around with tapas as 15 local chefs share their time, talents and tasty treats with the audience of 400. Also lots of great auction items to bid on.
