Becoming a Chef FAQs:
Chefs are required to attend a brief (45 minutes) food safety course with the Vermilion County Health Department.
Chefs are required to prepare their food in a Health Department Approved Kitchen, with exception to those chefs serving shelf-stable dishes that fall under the Cottage Law. The Vermilion County Health Department reviews our list of chefs, kitchens and recipes and they will make the final call on which chefs are required to cook in an approved kitchen.
Chefs are responsible to provide the ingredients for their dish and any required serving paper products. United Way provides silverware and dinner napkins. If your dish requires ice, you will need to bring ice in a cooler.
There will be no ice on the Arena floor at this event!
Chefs are encouraged to decorate their stations!
