All Day
The second annual Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge is this August!
This fun and exciting challenge brings new vegan diners to restaurants and new vegan dishes to diners!
Chefs and Restaurants create one or more vegan main dishes for diners to purchase, enjoy, and rate online throughout August. You can create new vegan sides and desserts as well! Chefs and restaurants can sign up to participate here.
Participating restaurants will be promoted via our Vegan Chef Challenge website, printed literature, social media boosting of the challenge, individuals posting about their meals on social media, and press releases to newspapers and television stations.
Last year the challenge was featured on Fox 9 television and covered by the Pioneer Press and several influential food blogs.
Diners are invited to visit participating restaurants throughout August, purchase the challenge dishes, enjoy, and then rate their experience online. [link coming soon]
At the end of the challenge, a champion and other winners are selected based on the votes received, so the more diners share their experiences, the better for all!
ENJOY A FULL MONTH OF VEGAN DISHES AND BE THE JUDGE!
Have fun at participating restaurants around town while dining on vegan dishes created JUST for this competition as well as restaurants’ featured classics that were previously on their menus.
Visit our challenge page to see a map of restaurants and cast your vote. This page will also list what dishes are being offered, and when they are available.
