Chefs de Cuisine Association of San Diego:
“Iron in 10 Minutes” at the Media Party 6-4-2010
San Diego County Fair

Everyone had a blast taking competitors from the crowd to compete in ten minutes with the chefs coaching.

“Ironhood in 10 minutes” Congratulations to the Chefs de Cuisine Board of Directors for having the most interactive and the funnest booth out of the whole fair put together. We really stood out from the rest of the typical booths one sees at a fair.

Taste the Fun is the theme of the 2010 San Diego County Fair.
