CHEFS! The Sizzling Kitchen Showdown Comes to Mayo Performing Arts Center

By:

Feast your eyes on CHEFS! Chefs! The Sizzling Kitchen Showdown, comes to Mayo Performing Arts Center on Thursday, February 22 at 8 pm. Tickets for this Adults-only event are $29-$49.

These hilarious (and delicious) hunks give you a peek behind the apron as they slice, dice, and spice things up in the kitchen through a series of escalating culinary challenges where the stakes are high: if they lose a challenge, they lose their shirt. Literally. CHEFS is a fully interactive experience where you will vote for the winner and may even join the boiling hot chefs on-stage for uproarious cooking demonstrations. Outrageously bold and hysterically funny, CHEFS is "too hot for TV," making it the perfect night out!

CHEFS is hosted by Chef Patrick Wilde. The Michelin-starred celebrity chef and world renowned restauranteur hosts this tournament-type production for the once-in-a-lifetime chance to become a chef at his highly new anticipated restaurant, Eros.

Chef Patrick is a stripper-turned-chef who used the money he made from three long years on the pole to build his culinary empire. He is offering other made strippers the opportunity to "get off the pole, and into the pantry!"

Chefs competing in the tournament must prove their culinary skills to Chef Patrick through a series of escalating challenges that highlight their skills and dexterity around the kitchen. If a chef wins a challenge, he gets to choose the next mystery ingredient from Chef Patrick's on-stage pantry and become one step closer to becoming a chef at Eros. If a chef loses a challenge, he loses an article of clothing.
