Renowned Local Chefs Knoke and Schoenburg to Cook for Culinary Supremacy during live "Head-to-Head" Cooking Competition 6PM, Sunday, Sep. 19th at the "Standards of Excellence Kitchen & Bath Showroom" in Orange County!
Huntington Beach, CA—Two esteemed local chefs will sharpen their knives and step into the culinary ring to determine who wins the battle for “Top Chef,”
as ForgottenGrapes.com presents the inaugural Orange County Sunday Night Chef Fight cooking competition live Sunday September 19th at 6:00PM at the Standards of Excellence Kitchen Showroom in Huntington Beach (map)!
Chef Phil Knoke, owner of SteerCrazy Int'l BBQ & Grill in Capistrano Beach, will face the heat and face off against his opponent, Chef Don Schoenburg, Chef and Owner of Lido Deck restaurant and winebar in Newport Beach, in this high-stakes live cooking competition where the local audience gets to serve as judge, jury, and taste-cutioner.
Each Sunday Night Chef Fight is a fast-paced, no-holds-barred culinary showdown similar to popular cooking competition shows on TV, but with a few extra twists thrown in to entertain. Before each event, both chefs are given three base ingredients – a protein, vegetable, and starch/grain – that must be included in their creations, a shopping allowance, and a week to plan and prep their dishes for the fifty members of the audience jury. Then, during the Sunday Night Chef Fight itself, each chef and his or her sous-chef will have only 30 minutes to cook and finish their dishes as well as incorporate a “mystery ingredient” into the mix while host Chris Kern peppers him or her with questions and keeps the audience apprised and entertained. The audience rates each chef’s creations in three categories, the totals are tallied at the end of the night, and one chef will be crowned the winner, receive the Sunday Night Chef Fight’s trophy, the title of “Champion Chef of Orange County,” and the opportunity to defend his or her title against a new local chef challenger at the next Sunday Night Chef Fight, to be held at a future date and location to be determned soon!

“Sunday Night Chef Fights are the ultimate challenge for any outstanding chef,” notes Chris Kern, founder of ForgottenGrapes.com, creator of Sunday Night Chef Fights, and host of the event. “Not only are the chefs testing their culinary creativity and ability to work against the clock and against each other, but they’ve now got sixty local gourmets, foodies, and self-appointed food critics judging their creations.”
Each Sunday Night Chef Fight will also include as an “undercard” bout Vino Vidi Vici, a blind wine tasting competition in which all audience members taste three themed but unlabeled wines, select a favorite, and then have the opportunity to purchase either the winner or the wines they liked best. The name and varietal of each bottle will be revealed over the course of the event.
Tickets are currently on sale at SundayNightChefFights.com for the inaugural Orange County Sunday Night Chef Fight starting at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 19th at the Standards of Excellence Kitchen Showroom at 16001 Gothard Street in Huntington Beach, CA (map).
