Aaron Bank, Two-time Chef Showdown Champion
The guests were hotly divided as to who would come out the champion, there were definite favorites coming into the showdown. Guests were talking about the dishes before they even made it to the table as the aromas from the kitchen were wafting through the Frances Leach High Prairie Arts & Science Complex.
We thank you for joining us in our evening of fun and food and wine. We are already looking forward to next year’s showdown!
