This June and September, Visit Modesto will host two special culinary competitions that you won’t want to miss. In conjunction with Elevations Events, we’re bringing prior competitors from famous productions like Hell’s Kitchen to compete — “Beat Bobby Flay” style — on the streets of downtown Modesto.
These celebrity chefs will use our fair city as their pantry by day, building their competition menus using fresh local proteins, fruit, vegetables, herbs, olive oils, nuts and more. We have Nikki Hanna from Hudson Valley, Drew Tingley from Washington DC, Jordan Savell from Las Vegas, Cody Candelario from Oakland and Brittani Ratcliff from Lexington currently scheduled, with more to be confirmed.
Get on the list so you can follow, eat, and learn from these commanders in the kitchen. Register now below!
