8/1/14 - The culinary skills of local chefs will once be tested next week as they compete in the 10th annual Iron Chef competition to benefit the Gleaners Community Food Bank of Livingston County. Past champions Jody Brunori of The Laundry in Fenton, Steve Pilon and Tammy Young of the Wooden Spoon in Brighton and Patrick Srock of the Lakelands Golf & Country Club, will compete for the 2014 title next Thursday, August 7th at Bordineâs Nursery in Brighton. Gleaners Community Relations Manager Bridgette Green says the event is the sole fundraiser for their Shared Harvest Pantry in Genoa Township, which serves about 1,200 families a month. Last yearâs event raised approximately $100,000, equating to more than 300,000 meals. Also returning to the event this year is Chef Rob Hindley, who was the Iron Chef Champion in 2005 & 2006. He will serve as one of the judges alongside Howellâs own Rene Chodkowski, better known as The Great Foodini. Tickets are $50 each and include restaurant tastings, cocktails, and a silent auction featuring items from local merchants, restaurants, and renowned chefs, as well as sports and entertainment memorabilia.
