Featuring 12 outstanding chefs from Ghana and Israel to Belgium and Panama, all competing for the evening's awards. Ambassador of Sweden Jonas Hafström and his wife, Eva, join Cultural Tourism DC in welcoming guests to the nonprofit organization's benefit, which includes a silent auction and entertainment.

Event patrons vote for the People's Choice Award, while the judges nominate their favorite.
