Culinary Combat III was a bigger success than we anticipated. It could not have happened without all of our wonderful participants and of course the Ocala Shrine Club. All of the participating restaurants were true heroes by providing their own food cost and all of our generous sponsors that helped us promote the event really “stepped up to the plate”. Chef Randal and Charlie DiLibero from the Hilton were fantastic hosts and helped us in ways that made the event even better. We would like to especially thank our cash donors – Sunshine Air Conditioning, Dr. Alex Gluhareff, PC House Productions, Peace of Mind Caregivers and Cox Media for covering event expenses to make this the best Culinary Combat yet. If you were there you’ll know what we mean. But you haven’t seen anything yet. Wait until next year!
Congratulations to our new champion, Chef James Schumann of Cuvee Wine & Bistro.
