On Saturday, the Delicious Food Show orchestrates an epicurean pre-battle, leading up to Mount Sinai’s renowned fundraising event, Chef’s Challenge, in early 2014. Of those raising monies for the hospital’s ultimate culinary showdown, the highest fundraisers-to date are divided into two teams, each headed by a fierce celebrity chef, to compete for unbelievable prizes at the show. Notable culinary stars will judge the competition, examining dishes and selecting an ultimate DFS Mini Chef’s Challenge winner!
