Steel Chef Challenge

Steel Chef Banner Featuring Chef Robert Irvine

The New Hampshire Food Bank’s tenth annual Steel Chef Challenge will feature celebrity chef, Robert Irvine, hosting a timed cooking competition featuring some of New Hampshire’s best chefs – all to benefit the New Hampshire Food Bank!

The Food Bank will transform the Armory Ballroom at the Doubletree by Hilton Manchester Downtown into a grand dining room, seating approximately 700 guests. Attendees will watch live as the competition between chefs heats up, and enjoy a fabulous dinner curated by Chef Irvine, live and silent auctions and more.

A VIP portion of the event takes place before the competition, where VIPs can meet and greet the celebrity chef. This will be an exciting evening to support a worthy cause!
