LBC's Top Chef Competition is a multi-faceted, family-friendly event open to the whole community designed to celebrate the harvest season, have fun, play outdoors, learn about cooking and nutrition, mingle with our celebrity judges, understand food insecurity in our region, and connect with leaders - including the members of LBC's soon-to-start Class of 2026!

Children under 12 years old are free, can enjoy a free ice cone, and play games such as corn hole, flickin' chicken, lawn darts, yard pong, disc golf...The first 20 LBC paid members to register can get a free sample from each competing team and be a part of the judging.

Foodies and home cooks (no professional chefs) will compete for the Top Chef award, as judged by Tiffany "Lady T" Watson, Emmy-nominated TV host of BMORE Lifestyle, Al Spoler, host of Radio Kitchen and Cellar Notes, and Charles Levine, owner of Citron. Guests can purchase local flavors from a taco truck, an ice cream truck, and a local brewery and winery.

Since LBC's mission is to improve our community, we are partnering with the Community Assistance Network (CAN), which will educate attendees about food insecurity in the Baltimore region, nutrition, and demonstrate cooking techniques using typical food pantry products. 10% of all ticket sales will be donated to CAN.
