The annual event will be held at the Silver Street Station located just northwest of downtown at 1500 Silver Street. It will also feature the 4th Annual Iron Fork Chef Competition presented by Whole Foods Market.
Hosted by Randy Evans of Southern Son Restaurant Consulting, the Iron Fork competition showcases two of Houston’s most popular up and coming chefs as they face off in a head-to-head cooking competition judged by local area celebrities. Chef Kevin Naderi of Roost and Lillo & Ella will face off against Chef Randy Rucker of Bramble for the “Iron Fork” award and Houston bragging rights.
A portions of the proceeds will benefit Kids’ Meals, a non-profit, community based organization, serving healthy lunches to over 1,700 hungry pre-school aged children, living in poverty in the Houston area. The charity provides and delivers nutritious meals, free of cost to the families year-round.
