Event Overview:
The Houston based FFFFF fund raising event was established in 2004. Near 100 cooking teams will be competing and serving food from hors d’oeuvres, salads, soups, gumbo, entrees to desserts. The teams will be judged by a select panel containing a number of nationally known chefs. The evening will be filled with fabulous food, great fun and fellowship and adult beverages! The F5 is a great venue to mingle and network with your friends, co-workers and/or clients.
Proceeds from the FFFFF event helps support the Andy Ellis Scholarship, AADE activities, and other educational initiatives.
