Pastry chefs from restaurants across the nation will create and present eight plates of just one dessert that best represents their signature culinary style. Not only will these talented chefs be featured, but the restaurants they represent will also be highlighted and promoted.
Competitors have the chance to incorporate sponsor ingredients into the production of their desserts, furthering networking between themselves and our sponsors. The competition takes place on Monday August 26th. The winning dessert will be recognized as being the nation’s best dessert.
