Battle of the chefs

Battle of the chefsThis is an event which promises to be great fun and a great culinary experience while helping four worthy charities. The charities to benefit are Console, Down Syndrome Ireland, Cancer Care West and The Galway Lions Club.

The night begins at 7.30pm with a mulled wine reception, with the meal sit down time 8pm. There will be seven top chefs in the kitchen all ‘battling’ to get your top score of the night. Each diner (hopefully 250+) will have a scorecard for each course so it should be great fun to see if your opinion of the food is matched by the results.

The format of the evening will be a starter, risotto course, fish course, main course, dessert, cheese and petit fours. There will be wine to partner certain dishes also. Between courses there will be short surprise entertainment acts and after dinner a live band. During the meal Tadgh Keady will have live cameras rolling in the kitchen with screens dotted around the dining room. Chef Johnny Carroll will be master of ceremonies, thus adding to the pressure in the kitchen. The actual dishes will not be announced until the night.

Everything on the night has been sponsored: food, wine, services and all the staff. Add to that the great causes and it must be worth your support. Why not get a few friends/workmates together and book a table.

The event is being organised by Maurice Mc Carthy, himself a fine chef and lecturer in catering.

The event will take place in The Salthill Hotel on Wednesday November 16th. Tickets cost €50 and are available from The Salthill Hotel on 091 548808, and also from the designated charities above.
