Iron Chef (for the rest of us)

Get off the couch and pick a side already! Ever dreamt of yourself receiving accolades from the Chairman during an episode of Iron Chef? No worries, you will not be in the spotlight on your own. And no plus-one is required. We've got your team. Join Mixolo at [School of] Food Network for "Iron Chef" for the rest of us. We'll form two teams; each will create a full course meal using a secret ingredient, a choice of protein, produce, and other ingredients from School of Foods fresh stocked pantry and now expansive herb gardens.

Teams are judged based on culinary scores such as taste, creativity (use of the secret ingredient) and presentation. To inject a healthy dose of fun into the competition (because we realize some are more competitive than others) and ensure absolutely no inhibitions on your creativity, if Halloween's your thing, feel free to dress up (with kitchen attire safety limitations in mind - detailed in this listing). So. Much. Fun.

Ready? Set? Go! Register now and spend your Sunday at the school for food and fun. School of Food.

Cancellation Policy: Cancellations may be made for a full refund up to 7 days before the event. Cancellations within 7 days of this event will be non-refundable due to advance commitments Mixolo will be required to make to our hosts who thoughtfully prepare for your experience.
