The University of Mary Washington Dining Services will host its annual Chefs’ Fare on Wednesday, Feb. 25 from 5 to 7 p.m. in Seacobeck Hall on the Fredericksburg campus. The event marks the first of six culinary contests leading to the awarding of the 2015 District Chefs’ Fare.
Returning this year as the 2014 District Chefs’ Fare winner, UMW’s culinary team will face chefs from five other area universities, including the College of William and Mary. In an Olympic-themed culinary competition, each chef will prepare small meals that reflect the cuisine of countries that participate in the Olympic games. Guests will taste the dishes of each chef and vote for their favorite meal to determine the winning culinary team. The Chefs’ Fare is open to the public at a cost of $11.15 plus tax.
After all six competitions are completed, an overall 2015 District Chefs’ Fare winner will be named based upon the number of contest wins and the quality of the Chefs’ Fares hosted by each university. Last year UMW’s culinary team received a “knife in the stone” trophy, currently on display in the Dome Room at Seacobeck Hall.
