What: <\/strong>The Food Experiments National Tour presented by Brooklyn Brewery<\/p>\n

Where and When: <\/strong>Washington DC on May 15th; Philadelphia on June 5th; Boston on July 31st; Brooklyn in September<\/p>\n

Why:<\/strong> For the past two years, friends and veteran cook-off gurus Theo Peck and Nick Suarez have hosted hundreds in dimly lit venues where amateur chef-testants experiment with basic ingredients hoping for epic results. Their sold out competitions have included individual items like cheese and chocolate and wide-ranging themes like Brunch, the Taco and Brooklyn Roots. Now, these outer-borough boys are experimenting with the experiment by taking it on a multi-city tour to find the best of the chefs culminating in a final All-Star Championship cook-off back in Brooklyn this fall. The upcoming cities and themes will be Brunch in New Orleans, Tacos in DC, Cheese in Philadelphia and Pie in Boston.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe picked cities that love to eat and cities that have a food culture of their own,” said Nick Suarez. “Our goal is to promote the home chef in a nurturing competitive environment. . .to push their culinary boundaries while experimenting with food.\u201d<\/p>\n

In each locale, Peck and Suarez will have a visible presence in the local food community. The pair will be sampling\u00a0 domestic cuisine, meeting chefs for a local happy hour, conducting a Friday food crawl prior to experiment day as well as tasting and judging at each cook-off. Courtesy of their national sponsor, Brooklyn Brewery, their borough beer will be on tap for imbibing.<\/p>\n

Given the results of their first tour stop in Austin\u2014where Suarez saw some of the most passionate of chefs experimenting with pork\u2014the culminating cook-off will feature previous AllStar chefs and tour stop winners surely making for a coveted foodie event. Prizes throughout the tour are provided by Le Creuset and Brooklyn Slate in addition to new partnerships formed with local communities for the duration of the tour.<\/p>\n

No matter the city or the chef, the pair assures chef-testants \u201ccreate the perfect bite. . .it always wins competitions.\u201d<\/p>\n

May the best bite win it all.<\/p>\n
