Sharing Hope in Tough Times

Everyone Loves "Men Who Cook"

Throughout the year, each of Catholic Charities's social service agencies host a "Men Who Cook" event in 4 of our 6 service counties.  This event is based on the premise that each location solicits local amateur chefs to cook up their favorite soup, salad, entree or dessert and serve appetizer-sized portions to the guests attending the event.  Each chef's dish is then judged by an all female panel to determine the Judge's Choice award of the evening.  Guests also have the opportunity to vote for their favorite chef/dish to win the coveted People's Choice Award.
