From Farm Fresh Rhode Island:
PROVIDENCE, RI – Farm Fresh Rhode Island is excited to host the 1st
Annual Iron Chef Competition. The event will be held at the Downtown
Farmers’ Market on Friday, July 27th from 12:00pm to 1:00pm. Chefs from
several area restaurants will compete for the title of Providence Iron
Chef 2007. The secret ingredients to be used during the competition
will be locally grown, seasonal fruits or vegetables decided by Farm
Fresh Rhode Island. The produce will be donated by farmers with booths
at the Friday market. Chefs will only be told what the ingredients are
at the start of the competition. They will then have one hour to
prepare an appetizer, entrée, or dessert of their choice. The guest
judge is Jen from Jen’s Dish who broadcasts a weekly live radio show
all about food (www.wnri.com). A “People’s Choice” award will also be
determined by a ballot vote; everyone who attends the event is welcome
to sample dishes and vote for their favorite. Fresh fruits, vegetables,
and other locally produced foods are available each week at Farmers’
Markets. Apart from being delicious, these foods are key parts of a
healthy diet. Using Farmers’ Markets also helps preserve Rhode Island’s
agricultural community. Come see what it’s all about! For additional
information on the 1st Annual Iron Chef Competition or a list of the
