Chefs in Motion: Culinary Tasting and Competition

Chefs in Motion is a collaboration between the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, Cornell Cooperative Extension, the New York State Wine and Grape Foundation and the Times Union.
Participating Chefs will be provided a “shopping cart” of locally-sourced products and seasonal produce from which they will be asked to create a signature dish.
The event will highlight New York State Vintners, Wine Makers and Sommeliers in an additional competition of “Stump the Wine Expert” as part of the VIP/Honorary Reception prior to the event’s start time.

People’s Choice as well as Judges’ Choice Awards.
