Iron Fork, Presented by US Foods

The Nashville Scene’s 14th Annual Iron Fork, presented by US Foods, returns with four local top chefs from Music City's best restaurants going head-to-head in a cooking competition to vie for the coveted Iron Fork Champions trophy and entry to the 2023 World Food Championships. The competition's catch? One secret ingredient. Modeled after the popular Food Network television show Iron Chef, chefs will have one hour to prepare a dish to impress our panel of guest judges. The 2023 all-star lineup of chefs includes Arnold Myint of International Market & Restaurant, Charles Hunter III of The Salted Table, Chris Neff of Noelle Hotel + Makready L&L and Kristin Beringson of Henley.

Attendees of the event will enjoy unlimited food samples from some of Nashville’s best restaurants, and a drink passport to try specialty cocktails, beer and wine while watching the fierce competition take place. Guests can get in on the action by bidding in a charity auction for one of the plates prepared by the talented chefs, with 100% of the auction proceeds benefiting our nonprofit partner, the Nashville Food Project.

VIP tickets are also available and include early entry to the event, access to the VIP Lounge and access to the Mixology Competition and an extra special chef demonstration and of course, extra food and drink samples!
