Manassas, VA- Leadership Prince William and the Prince William Chamber of Commerce will host the first Gourmet Guys Give Back event from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, December 4, at Linton Hall School in Bristow, VA. This family-friendly event is open to the public and will feature 22 local amateur chefs who will compete for People’s Choice and Judges’ Awards for their tastiest dishes. Tickets are available online at www.GourmetGuysGiveBack.com.
Guests will be able to sample all of the dishes—appetizers, soups, side dishes, entrees and desserts—and vote for their favorites to identify the Peoples’ Choice winners. Local professional chefs will select the Judges’ Awardwinners, with a tasting at 2 p.m. Gourmet Guys Give Back also features children’s activities and face painting, a variety of raffle prizes, exhibit tables by local vendors, and live music by an Old Bridge Chamber Orchestra ensemble.
“Our members have been extremely excited about participating in this event. We are looking forward to the support of the community,” says Prince William Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Debbie Jones. “Many of the chefs are visible members of the community—police officers, lawyers, even the Chairman of the School Board—but at Gourmet Guys they will be laying it all on the line to compete for your votes: as the best amateur chef in our community.” She went on to note that the Chamber is pleased to be partnering with Leadership Prince William for the first time.
