Guests packed Fulton’s on the River last night for the first ever Common Threads Cook Off, which featured dozens of local chefs, including Stephanie Izard, Todd Stein, and Giuseppe Tentori. While the event was all for charity, it was also a competition, as the chefs tried to win in four different categories — in a glass, in a shell, on a bun, and on a stick. We have the full list of winners below, along with a slidshow of some of the more stunning dishes served up last night.
