Chef Competition 10/8/26 Chef Christin vs. Chef RJ

Thursday October 8 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

New York Kitchen’s Chef Competitions: Dinner and a Show – Reimagined!

The heat is on! Watch our talented chefs go head-to-head LIVE in New York Kitchen’s Chef Competitions Series, a tournament-style culinary competition “Iron Chef” style.

Each competition challenges chefs to create an outstanding entrée and dessert featuring New York State proteins, produce and products, and a mystery ingredient revealed just before the competition begins. With limited time and high stakes, creativity and skill are put to the ultimate test—you’ll watch the action unfold in real time and decide the winning chef!

Enjoy a small nosh plate while the show begins and then tasting plates of each Chef competitor’s entrée, and dessert, as well as your choice of a complimentary glass of wine, beer, or non-alcoholic beverage while cheering on your favorite chef. No one will leave the kitchen hungry!

One chef advances. One chef does not. Who will be crowned the New York Kitchen Chef Battle Champion?

Things to note:

Seating: VIP Seating provide a front row seat, with either side or front counter space. General Seating also provides a good view and counter space. All seating is first come first served.

Menu: Competition menus will be determined closer to the event date based on the mystery basket ingredients. Menu will include a welcome bite, two main courses (protein + side dish(es)) and two desserts. Due to the use of mystery ingredients, we cannot accommodate food allergies, dietary restrictions, or special meal requests.

VIP Seating: Front Counter/Front Side Counter – $130

General Seating: Middle Counter/Back Counter/ Side Counters – still a really good view of the action! – $120

Standing Room/High-top Table – still a good view of the action! – $110

COOKING & BEVERAGE CLASS DISCLOSURES:

  1. If you wish to sit with a party who registered separately, please let us know in the notes section of your order. If everyone in your party has registered as part of one order, you will automatically be seated together and there is no need to reach out. We will do our best to seat groups together, however our space is limited and requests cannot be guaranteed.
  2. If you have a food allergy or restriction, kindly let us know in the notes section of your order. Please be aware that not all dietary restrictions or allergies can be accommodated. If you have a dietary restriction or allergy requiring significant modifications to the recipe, we ask that you reach out to us prior to registering at info.desk@nykitchen.com to confirm we are able to accommodate your request, unless otherwise specified in the class description.
  3. The minimum age to attend a general Cooking Class with an accompanying adult is 12; for Family Cooking Classes, children as young as 8 may attend with an adult. Guests must be at least 18 to attend a class without an adult, and all attendees must purchase a ticket to participate. Junior Chef Camps also require a minimum age of 12, but do not require adult accompaniment.
  4. You must be 21+ to consume alcohol. I.D. IS REQUIRED. New York Kitchen reserves the right to ask guests who are intoxicated, behaving in an unsafe manner, or who pose a risk to leave the classroom.
  5. By attending, you consent to media capture and usage by NYK for any purpose.

ADDITIONAL COOKING CLASS DISCLOSURES:

  1. Closed-toe, non-slip shoes are required for your safety.
  2. Each station accommodates 2 people. For this reason each station must prepare the same dish, with the exception of our Sushi Rolling classes.
  3. Recipes are developed using common ingredients which may or may not be specified in the title including flour, nuts, spices, fruits, vegetables, etc.
  4. To ensure the safety of all guests, we ask that class participants give their full attention to the Chef Instructor as they cover important knife skills and kitchen tips.
  5. With the purchase of your ticket, you recognize that this could present potential cooking hazards including but not limited to cuts, burns, slips, falls, allergic reactions, and other injuries. I release New York Kitchen, its agents, representatives, and employees from all damages causes of action, claims, and liability that might arise from participation.

CANCELLATION POLICY:

  • Class ticket purchases are non-refundable, and cannot be transferred to a different class for any reason. This is because New York Kitchen is a nonprofit organization that wants to ensure our educators are properly compensated for their time and plans for classes based on the number of participants registered. If you’d like to offer your seat in that class to a friend or family member, we’d be happy to welcome them. Patrons should use the original purchaser’s name upon arrival at check-in.
  • No-Show Policy: New York Kitchen will not refund for no‐shows if a guest books a class reservation and attendees do not show.
  • New York Kitchen reserves the right to cancel any class that fails to attract sufficient enrollment, or due to educator illness or inclement weather. We will contact you by phone or email and issue a full refund, or you may request to be transferred to another class of your choice (depending on availability and value).
  • We appreciate your support of our non-profit organization.
