*There will be 30-35 chef stations total. Please prepare 500 tasting portions.

Pick your dish:(Required)

This section has been added to ensure our events offer a diverse offering of dishes for guests such as seafood, protein, vegetarian, dessert, etc. Please adhere to the dish you chose on the menu form. If you do not see the dish selection of your choice, they have all been claimed. For example if you are looking for a seafood dish option and it is not available to select, they have all been claimed. If your menu item does not match the dish selection you chose, our Culinary Ops team will reach out directly. Just like you thoughtfully craft your restaurant menus, we are aiming to do the same at CHSWF!
