Tanner Marino, Broad Street Grill’s executive chef at The Chattanoogan, is one of five chefs competing for a golden ticket to The World Food Championships on Sunday at Chattanooga Market.

Local foodies, you don’t want to miss this Sunday’s Chattanooga Market in First Tennessee Pavilion.

Five chefs will compete in a cook-off under the watchful eyes of marketgoers as the FiveStar Food Fight is presented by Springer Mountain Farms. It’s a battle of wits, creativity and culinary skill as the chefs have to come up with a delicious dish within an allotted time period that wins over the panel of judges.

The winner will receive a golden ticket into the 2018 World Food Championships, where grand champions of previous events convene to cook for a chance to win the ultimate food crown and a share of hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money.

Chefs are set to arrive just before the market opens to set up their cooking stations. Chefs will be given approximately 2 pounds of fresh Springer Mountain Farms chicken – but the cuts are a complete surprise.
