Raleigh Weekend

Rocky Top Catering’s eighth annual Cooking for the Kids returns this winter, bringing together eight of the Triangle’s top chefs for a multi-night culinary competition benefiting Overflowing Hands, a 100% volunteer-led nonprofit serving vulnerable children locally and globally.

Hosted at the elegant Millbrook Manor, each competition night features two chefs going head-to-head in a six-course dining experience. Chefs will prepare an appetizer, entrée, and dessert using surprise ingredients, with guests and a panel of judges voting to decide who advances. A cash bar, silent auction, and serious culinary creativity round out the experience—all in support of a great cause.

Participating chefs include talent from Whiskey Kitchen, Glasshouse Kitchen, Wye Hill Kitchen, Irregardless Café, Lula & Sadie’s, Black Apron, Lake Gaston, and Tepuy Donuts.
