Chefs revealed for second Fire in the Triangle
Sixteen local chefs will compete in the first Fire in the Triangle dining competition this summer, and you get to pick the winner!
Posted — UpdatedThe bracket pits chefs against one another in "Iron Chef-style" battles with a twist – the audience/diners get to eat and vote! And their votes make up 70 percent of the total score, with the judges' panel only counting for 30 percent.
To make voting even easier this year, Competition Dining has released its own app for iPhone and Android users. Diners just use the app to scan the QR code at their place setting. Paper and pencil voting will be available for those who don't have a smartphone.
Their menus are due by 3:30 p.m. and diners start arriving at 6:30 p.m. Dinner is served at 7 p.m.
Secret ingredients last year ranged from frozen Butterball turkey to Cheerwine.
It a single-elimination contest with the winner being crowned on Aug. 19.
Some chefs competed last year – Oxford, Midtown Grille, Washington Duke Inn, Herons – while others are new to the competition. For the first time, there is a female chef competing in Fire in the Triangle. Sokun Slama is representing Whiteville's New Southern Kitchen.
