Participating chefs come from all sectors across the Mississippi Delta, from banking to clergy, lawyers to realtors, higher education to local media, and everything in between.

The winning chefs will be awarded their share of $1,000 cash and other great prizes! The chef who wins first place will recieve $500, second place $300, and third place $200.
One ticket allows you to sample various dishes that our participating chefs prepare.

financial support. Join us in Clarksdale, MS, on Thursday, April 14, 2022, from 5:00

We feel strongly that this event will showcase the best of our community and provide
needed scholarship dollars for our deserving students. We hope you will be here with
us as we move to build a stronger and more sustainable Coahoma Community College.
In conjunction with other CCC departments and initiatives, we will also work closely
with other organizations to develop and promote educational programs, webinars, and
resources aimed at supporting our campus community. Now more than ever, we value our
collaborative partners as we help to strengthen our community.
