Sunday, December 2nd: The Jersey Relief Experiment, an amateur cook-off to benefit the Rebuild Hoboken Relief Fund. We are donating 100% of the ticket proceeds to this worthy charity.
The cook-off will take place Sunday, December 2, from noon to 3 p.m at Maxwell’s in Hoboken. We are looking for Jersey’s most daring home chefs to bring their best bite to share with a few hundred intimate friends. You, the audience, along with our esteemed judging panel, will decide the winners.
Wait, there’s more! The Food Experiments, with the help of our national sponsors, will be auctioning off a number of amazing kitchen items and fun food experiences (want to sit on the judging panel for the FX National Championships?!!) to raise even more money for the Rebuild Hoboken Relief Fund—so we’re asking for your help, twice. Browse the wonderful items located on our auction site and start bidding! Once again, 100% of the proceeds from the auction will go to charity.
*A special note to our local chefs, we encourage you to enter the Jersey Experiment. Unfortunately due to the storm many of the chef-testants for the original Jersey Experiment have had their kitchens flooded. We have spots opens for competitors.
