This year's Rapid Fire Challenge theme is The Best Steak Dish Competition!  We are thrilled to showcase the culinary skills of eight competitors at this exciting event that celebrates the art of steak preparation.  Just before the Rapid-Fire Competition, there will be a live meat-cutting demonstration by Sierra Jepsen, Butcher Educator - PA Beef Council.  The PA Beef Council will provide the beef for the competition.

  • Eight chefs will participate in the Rapid-Fire Competition, with two competing simultaneously on the Center Stage.
  • The stage will be set with:
    • Two cooktops with Single Burners
    • Selection of pans
    • Convection Oven
    • Cooking Utensils
    • Serving Dishes
    • Side Table for preparation
  • Chefs will have access to a working kitchen behind the stage starting at 2:00 pm to prepare your dish.
  • Each group of contestants will be given 15 minutes on stage to cook, present their dishes, and provide a sampling to the judges.
  • There will be 10 minutes between each group to clean up and set up. 
  • The Center Stage MC Deanna Colon will be asking questions about the dish you are preparing.
