Join the Restaurant Association of Maryland Education Foundation (RAMEF) for our first-ever BRUNCH BATTLE.

Maryland ProStart students from high schools across the state, will be paired with professional chef mentors for a live cooking competition. Armed with their ideas, they will have one hour to select their ingredients, Iron Chef-style, then prep and plate their best brunch dishes. 

Final plates will be scored by a panel of judges, made up of industry pros, and the winning team will walk away with bragging rights (of course), and the winning team's Chef Mentor will win a coveted Golden Ticket to compete for Team Maryland at the 2021 World Food Championships in Dallas, Texas.
