Basic Information about the Chefs on Fire Event

1. WHAT: On Sunday, April 10, 2011 The Texas Chefs Association is teaming up again
with area firefighters to host Chefs on FireTM. This “Community Block Party”
features concessions from area establishments, live entertainment, fire safety
education and family friendly activities including a Junior Firefighters Contest,
Kids Crafts, and the Chefs on Fire Grilling Competition. Fifty teams will
compete in this day long competition. Each team will be comprised of one chef
and one firefighter. Cook-offs will occur throughout the day culminating with
the championship round. The winning team will be awarded $1000.00.
WHY: These two person teams will not only be cooking, but raising money to benefit
the Parkland Regional Burn Center. The burn center, established in 1962, is the
second largest in the United States, providing care that is modeled around the
world. The acute care and intensive care units are recognized internationally
for providing a source of surgical expertise and rehabilitation to burn survivors
of all ages. To donate to one of the Chefs on Fire teams, visit
