11th annual Iron Chef competition, Aug 6

Two local chefs prepare to cook it out in the kitchen for the Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan's 11th annual Iron Chef Competition. 

Happening at Bordine's Nursery in Brighton where the venue will be transformed into a kitchen stadium, the doors open at 6 p.m.

Tickets are $50 with funds supporting Gleaners' Shared Harvest Pantry.
