The annual Chef's Challenge from the Covenant House was held on Tuesday at the Clay Center and featured more than a dozen local chefs.
It's a tapas-style dine-around at the Clay Center where these chefs created a bite or two, and after #15, it feels as though you've had a full meal!
We started with appetizers - these amtipasti cups and philly steak pinwheels.
And once we made our way inside the dining space, it was all laid out by table and chef.
Once I grabbed a plate, I was ready to start making my rounds!
