Brightside Contest News: Favorite Chef 2023 to Feature Carla Hall and Benefit James Beard Foundation
The heat is on for culinary experts, professional chefs, and home cooks worldwide to sharpen their knives and compete for the ultimate prize. The 2023 Favorite Chef Competition will be powered by Colossal Management, LLC, a nationally registered professional fundraiser, and will benefit James Beard Foundation.
Under Colossal, the Favorite Chef Competition is set to be bigger and better than ever. For one, two-time 'Top Chef' competitor, author, television host, member of the James Beard Foundation's Women's Leadership Advisory Committee, and champion of many child-hunger-focused charities, Carla Hall, has signed on as the Competition host. The fun-loving, always-honest personality will help guide competitors along their Favorite Chef journey by offering industry insights and tips to hone their skills.
Another prize elevation includes an in-person, one-on-one cooking experience with Hall at Platform by James Beard Foundation, a brand-new dining destination in New York City located within a reimagined Pier 57 at West 15th Street and Hudson River Park between Little Island and Chelsea Piers. A cash prize of $25,000 will be awarded to the Competition winner, who will also be featured in a two-page advertorial in Taste of Home Magazine.
The online Competition will be operated as part of a fundraising campaign where donations from votes cast during the Competition will be received directly by DTCare, a US 501(c)(3) charity organization, and then subsequently granted to the James Beard Foundation (JBF) after the conclusion of the Competition. Colossal has a strong relationship with JBF and has helped raise awareness for the organization's mission to celebrate, support, and elevate the people behind America's food culture while championing a standard of good food anchored in talent, equity, and sustainability. In addition to general support for the Foundation, Colossal has aided in JBF's National Scholars Program and Women's Leadership Workshop.
"We are absolutely delighted to see how the Colossal competitions bring so many people together around food, and we are deeply grateful that this initiative will benefit the Foundation's efforts to champion a standard of good food anchored in talent, equity, and sustainability," said Clare Reichenbach, CEO of the James Beard Foundation.
