“The Rapid Fire Challenge has become a must see event during the International Restaurant Show and we invite local chefs to compete and be recognized for their creative desserts. We thank our professional judges, our partner Total Foodservice and our sponsor Boldric’s,” says Tom Loughran, vice president, Clarion UX Food & Beverage Group. “We are looking forward to receiving the dessert recipes local chefs enter and seeing who our loyal social media audience selects to compete live during the Show.”
Submissions must include the title and recipe for the dessert, and a 1-2 minute video to be posted on the Show’s Facebook page for peer voting which will take place Dec. 4-11. The final three competitors will be announced on Dec. 12, and must be available to compete in New York on March 9.
