Love Food? Don’t Miss Lubbock’s Showdown At The Jones AT&T Stadium

The South Plains Food Bank, inc. is doing something different for a fundraiser this year. They are hosting a new fun event and tickets are on sale now.

It is called the Chef Showdown and it is happening at Jones AT&T Stadium. They are having local chefs volunteer to come together and create dishes using only ingredients that come in a South Plains Food Bank box.

What comes in those boxes? Here is an example.

These chefs will have to get creative to win. People who attend will have the opportunity to meet with the Chefs, sampling their creations and watch the panel of judges decide a winner.

This is all a fundraiser for The South Plains Food Bank, inc. They are a "humanitarian organization dedicated to serving West Texas by providing those who experience food insecurity with a helping hand.
