Sulzbacher welcomed guests to its inaugural Food Fight Jax, where two teams of chefs – Beaches vs. Town – battled it out in the name of fun and philanthropy.
Guests enjoyed samplings from 24 area restaurants, a skills competition and chef team battle, a live auction, and more at the Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center on Tuesday, March 17.
Led by Captain Mike Riska of Valley Smoke, the Beaches Team consisted of Troy White (Valley Smoke), Britton Chobert (Marker 32), Taylor Pickett (The Creative Cook Grocery and Catering), Tim McGuide (Fish Camps/Valley Smoke) and Rick James (Fish Camps).
Meanwhile, Chad Shaner (14 Prime) captained the Town Team, which included Louis Kurz (14 Prime), Rachel Presutti (14 Prime) and Vincent Lui (Nomu Izakaya), along with faces from our Resident communities, including Blake Joyal (Biscotti’s) and Tito Quiñones (The Buoy).
Proceeds from this inaugural event benefitted the Sulzbacher Center job training programs.
