THE IRON SKILLET COOK-OFF CHALLENGE:
IS A NEW YORK CHEF “HOTTER” THAN AN FDNY CHEF? 

On Monday, November 3, 2008 World Cares Center will host its Seventh Annual Iron Skillet Cook-off benefit event.  Firefighters from every borough in Manhattan will battle against New York City’s hottest restaurant chefs.  Celebrity judges will choose the winners.  Gourmet dishes will be paired with craft beers chosen by Brooklyn Brewery's world famous Brew master Garrett Oliver.  Fabulous items from Canyon Ranch, Brooklyn Brewery, Bang and Olufsen, Nannette Lepore and others will be auctioned live to a frenzied crowd.

Previous year’s restaurant chefs hail from davidburke and donatella, Bouley, Ditch Plains, Sumile, TriBeCa Grill, Capsuto Freres,  Ed’s Lobster Bar, Henry’s End, Sueños, and Momento Italian Bistro, to name but a few.  Special celebrity guests have included Master of Ceremonies Valerie Smaldone, and judges Scott Stringer (Manhattan Borough President), Michael Imperioli (Star of The Sopranos and Emmy Award winner), Mr. G (CW11 Weatherman), Christian Hoff (Star of Jersey Boys and Tony Award winner), Jared Lorenzen (NY Giants Quarterback), Christine Nagy (New York’s 106.7 morning show co-host), Garrett Oliver (Brooklyn Brewery Brew master), Tom Westman (Winner of CBS’ Survivor Palau), and Sukanaya Krishnan, (CW11 News Anchor).

All proceeds will benefit World Cares Center and its mission to foster safe and effective disaster response and resiliency within communities worldwide.
