Dear Potential Cook:
Summer is right around the corner…which means it’s that time of year again! The Derby City Tea Rose
Foundation and Pi Lambda Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. have begun preparing for our
28th Annual Men Who Cook, taking place on Saturday, June 6, 2015, at 7:00 pm. This year we are returning to
the historic Kentucky Center for African American Heritage!
Put down the tools of your trade and pick up your apron and chef hat, joining over 40 Kentuckiana men who will
dish up their specialties for this great cause! We are currently recruiting cooks to prepare and serve dishes
(tasting portions only) to our “audience” of judges. We have five categories of food competition: Appetizers,
Entrées, Side Dishes, Desserts, Healthy Choice, and best decorated table/station. The crowd favorite of each will
be declared the winner, receiving a prize and official bragging rights…at least until next year! In addition to
participating in an evening of fun, you will also be assisting the Derby City Tea Rose Foundation, Inc. (the
charitable arm of Pi Lambda Omega chapter) in raising funds to continue ongoing service projects and
scholarship programs for the Louisville community. Derby City Men Who Cook is one of Louisville's most
established and unique dining experiences, with guests having the opportunity to sample your dish, support our
community, and network with each another while they enjoy entertainment.
The following list represents the requirements and parameters for our 2015 Cheftestants:

and food storage equipment
Provide 350 tasting (soufflé size cup) portions of your gourmet creation
Chef-to-Chef tasting begins promptly at 6:15 pm
