Food lovers will gather again at The Cook & The Cork restaurant for its 2nd annual Young Culinarian Scholarship Foundation fundraising event, which raises scholarship funds for young chefs.

A much anticipated highlight of the afternoon will be the local high school culinary “chopped” competition. It will be judged by local celebrities and dignitaries.

The event will be held Sunday, May 3, 2015 from 12 p.m – 5 p.m. Limited tickets available now for $45 or $50 at the door for adults and $18 for ages 13-20 or $20- at the door. Under 12 suggested donation is $10. Tickets available here.
