“Top Chef Reconcile is a new fundraising event of Reconcile New Orleans, parent organization of Cafe Reconcile, where six teams — each consisting of two home cooks and one professional chef — will compete using a mystery ingredient. Teams will be judged on presentation, taste, incorporation of the mystery ingredient, and most importantly, funds generated for Reconcile New Orleans both before and at the event! Following the celebrity panel judging, attendees will be able to taste the concepts prepared by the competition teams, as well as additional dishes created by Café Reconcile’s Executive Chef Eugene Temple alongside a selection of outstanding participants and graduates from the program. This event will also feature unique auction items donated by guest chefs.” – app.mobilecause.com
