Presenting…FiveStar Food Fight**

Sunday, June 28th 10am-3pm (Market hours 11am-4pm) at the Chattanooga Market

This year’s fun food sport event was designed to highlight five outstanding Market vendors. As part of our vetting process for our five competitors, we want you to feel confident and prepared prior to accepting this fun opportunity. We require a firm commitment on this, as we are allocating significant resources toward marketing and advertising. If you are not comfortable “performing” in front of a large audience, this might not be the event for you! Please read through the details of this event carefully and ask questions…ahead of time, prior to committing.

  1. As a competitor in this special event, you will be shopping for your ingredients right at the Market on Sunday. We’ll provide you with $50 cash and 30 minutes to shop for most everything you’ll need. We’ll have a small pantry of simple things for you to access such as salt/pepper, olive oil, butter, and milk.

  2. You will be making an entree. As you think through what you would like to prepare for the judges, consider something seasonally appropriate, creative and use as many Market products as you can. Make sure your entree is something you can be successful at preparing.

  3. Expect that you will be plating for five judges and one emcee. Portion size (SMALLISH) is important since we are providing the judges with five entrees and we don’t want to fill them up before getting to all of the competitors.

  4. The twist…drumroll…you will be given a secret ingredient (at the event) that you will be required to utilize in your dish! (HINT: it will be a protein)

What we will provide:

  • 4 burner gas stove/electric oven by FiveStar

  • Prep table

  • Presentation table

  • Table cloths

  • Secret ingredient

  • Advertising/social media exposure/PR opportunities and live recording

What you will bring:

  • ALL PREP AND COOKWARE: Cutting boards, knives for preparation, pots & pans, bowls, utensils, pots/pans…everything you need to prepare your entree.

  • SIX sets of service ware for judges/emcee (plates, napkins, silverware)

  • Friends, family, co-workers to help cheer you on!!

Do’s and Dont’s:

  • DO ask questions, ahead of time preferable (best done via email copying all contestants)

  • DO follow our Facebook Page and the FiveStar Food Fight Event

  • DON’T begin food prep or cooking until official cooking process begins at Market

  • DON’T bring a helper - this is a solo competition (more fun that way)

  • DON’T bring any outside food or spices

  • DON’T bring any small appliances such as a blender
