Grab your mixing bowls and tofu for the newest and animal-friendliest cooking competition in NYC -- Veggie Conquest. The debut of this monthly event is August 22 in Chelsea (maybe next month we'll get to host it, DP), and is open to everyone, including non-vegetarians.
Based on shows like "Iron Chef" and "Top Chef," Veggie Conquest gives participants one ingredient they must use. The chefs make a dish at home and then bring it in for the judges (judging the Aug. 22 competition are Joshua Katcher, Kathy Patalsky and Brian Preston-Campbell), who crown a winner. Tickets are $5 for chefs and $10 for tasters, whose responsibility is to eat what the chefs bring. If you sign up after the ingredient is revealed, ticket prices will be higher -- $10 for chefs and $15 for tasters.
The website for Veggie Conquest has information about tickets, contest requirements, and more information about vegan food. At the event there will be cooking classes so you'll be ready to compete in the next month's competition or at least have a few tricks up your sleeve to impress a vegan dinner guest.
Any guesses about what the secret ingredient might be?
