The Shirley’s House of Hope ill be held Thursday, November 6th at 5:30pm at Hotel Marshfield. Watch as local area chefs FACE OFF in a culinary competition and race against the clock to create the best dish out of a “surprise meat” for a panel of judges! And YOU get to be the judge, too! All guests will taste and evaluate each contender's appetizer to determine which chef will receive the “2025 People's Choice Award for Best Appetizer in Marshfield.”
The four chefs who will be competing this year will include:
Chef Rob Arndt from Vila’s Farm to Table Mobile Food Service & Catering
Chef Katie McDaniel from The Hideout
Chef Bryan Rank from KamBray’s Mobile Restaurant
Chef Adam Winer from The Daily Special Food Truck
Each chef will win one of four awards: “Best Presentation,” “Best Showmanship,” “Most Creative,” and “Best Flavor.” But only ONE chef will win the 2025 People’s Choice Award for Best Appetizer. This year, our panel of (local) celebrity judges will include: Everett Mueller, City of Marshfield Fire Department Chief; Nicolas Kumm, Marshfield Utilities General Manager; and Natasha Tompkins, City of Marshfield District 3 Common Council Member.
Our goal is to raise $98,000 for our shelter program. Tickets for this event are currently for sale and can be purchased on our website at www.shirleyshouseofhope.org. The event typically sells out, so don’t wait! Tickets include:
