Reader Plans Epic Key Ingredient Cook Off May 3

Remember those videos of the ad hoc supergroup Rockestra featuring about every famous British musician of the 60s playing at once? Neither did we till this moment, but that’s kind of how we envision the event the Reader is planning to commemorate the longevity of the Key Ingredient chef challenge (since we don’t actually know any more about this event than is contained in the announcement). They’ve rounded up 26 notable chefs, most of whom have been past participating chefs in the series— Virant, Foss, Pandel, Levitski, Sheerins, Paula Haney of Hoosier Mama, Barry Sorkin of Smoque and many more— and will challenge them with five past ingredients, with tastes from the chefs and other noshes offered to the attendees. It’s at the Bridgeport Arts Center on Friday, May 3, it includes cocktails from Scofflaw’s Danny Shapiro, and has VIP tickets for $100 and general admission for $65, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the healthy Schools Campaign; find out more here.
