Local top chefs will compete during the 30A Throwdown 2014 Culinary Cookoff at V Seagrove.

The 3-day weekend event, October 17-19, will feature award-winning chefs collaborating on their creative takes on sublime cuisine. On October 18, competing chefs will progressively “throwdown” their exquisite pairings for the evening’s ticket holders at V Seagrove. The dinner starts at 6 pm and will feature five courses paired with select wines.

Featured in this year’s lineup are last year’s winning chefs, David Cunningham of V Seagrove and Dan Vargo of Seagar’s, along with Chris Mack of Pandora’s, Darek Tidwell of George’s at Alys Beach, Todd Misner and Steve Whithall of Stinky’s Fish Camp and Signature Catering of 30A’s Christopher Holbrook.

These chefs will each prepare and present their own unique dish as part of a six-course meal complete with wine pairings. Awards — including People’s Choice and Critic’s Choice — will be presented compliments of Visit South Walton and standout artists, Cody Copeland and Allison Wickey.
