Chamber Members Support The Mystic Area Shelter & Hospitality 7th Annual “Iron Chef” Competition & Auction for Action. This annual event raises funds to support local families with children facing homelessness. For this year’s exciting event we return to the beautiful waterfront of St. Edmund’s Retreat at Enders Island on Friday, August 16th from 6 to 10pm. The chef competition begins promptly at 6:30pm. Grant Simmons will be the emcee. This year’s “Iron Chef” Competition will feature Executive Chefs from our area’s two resort casinos, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. Chef Edward Allen of Foxwoods Resort Casino and Chef Ryan Calvo of Bar Americain at Mohegan Sun will compete head-to-head in a culinary battle for the 2013 “Iron Chef” title! “Iron Chef” judges this year include local restaurateurs Daniel Hostettler of Ocean House, Stephanie Houlihan of Water Street Café, Cathleen Holland of S&P Oyster Co. and Jeanie Roland of Ella’s Fine Food & Drink. Event guests will have the chance to bid on the fifth judge spot in a live auction the night of the event! Jack Falvey Associates of Kingstown, Rhode Island will provide live feed video coverage of the “Iron Chef” competition – guests will feel like they are at a live taping of the popular TV show! Guests will be treated to complimentary hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, and will have the opportunity to taste local craft beer from Grey Sail Brewing of Rhode Island. We will also have a Pastry Demonstration by Mohegan Sun’s Chef Lynn Mansel and Foxwoods Resort Casino’s Chef Franck Iglesias, with samples to taste at the dessert stations. A live auction following the “Iron Chef” judging will feature exciting one-of-a-kind goods and experiences provided by generous MASH supporters, including a fabulous Ocean House year-round package, a Captained Day Sail aboard a Swan 57 and “Something for Everyone, Every Season” from both Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun.
