About this event

Great Chefs of the West is back and bigger than ever on March 12, 2020 at the EXDO Event Center. The foodie event of the year brings together 25 of Denver’s top chefs all competing to win best dish - voted by you! With an all-star gathering of food and drinks, live music and exciting auctions, it's impossible to duplicate unless you attempt a very long night out on the town with an unlimited budget. To top it off, it's all for a great cause! 

Schedule of Events
6-9:15PM Chef Tastings, Complimentary Drinks, Best Dish Voting, Live Music 
7:30PM Short Program & Live Auction
8:30PM Award for Best Dish
