Here's the dish:

Start with talented Tri-C students interested in the culinary arts, add a few of the city's most talented chefs (like Doug Katz, Marlin Kaplan, Zach Bruell, Steve Schimoler and Sergio Abramof), then mix in a mouthwatering competition and add a dash of entertainment (jazz trio, cake decoration and ice sculpting). Serve with an adult beverage and hors d'ouevres and you've got the recipe for a night to savor.

The Cleveland Culinary Challenge is a fundraiser for the Spirit of Cleveland and Cuyahoga Community College's work study program for hospitality students.
