You Are Cordially Invited to the 8th Annual Chef Showdown Country Club Competition
Thursday, November 6, 2025, 6-10 p.m.
Delaire Country Club, Delray Beach, Florida
We are thrilled to announce this year’s host Delaire Country Club! Executive Chefs from the top country clubs in Southern Palm Beach County are invited to compete for the title of Best Country Club Chef in this Iron Chef-style competition. Each chef will create an original dish using the same special ingredient and each chef will have 30 minutes to cook their dish for the judges. A panel of local celebrity judges will determine the winner. The winning Club will host the event in 2026.
The evening begins with a fun and delectable cocktail hour featuring signature hors d’oeuvres from each of the participating clubs, specialty cocktails and a silent auction. The evening progresses to the main ballroom where the competition is filmed live. Guests enjoy viewing the competition then get to taste each of the chef’s creations.
