Nickel City Chef

<

Nickel City Chef is a very popular series of high energy, high stakes cooking competitions featuring WNY’s top chefs and secret ingredients from our own region. Currently, Nickel City Chef is preparing to launch a second season in 2010.

Nickel City Chef takes place in one of the city’s best kept secrets–a fully restored turn-of-the-century warehouse on Buffalo’s West Side (home to Artisan Kitchens & Baths). Completely outfitted with two competition-worthy kitchens, this unique setting is the ideal location for guests to enjoy snacks and drinks while experiencing this one-of-a-kind cooking competition first hand.

The audience watches as the Nickel City Chefs and their challengers attempt to create the three best dishes in under an hour! They will employ classic and modern techniques in order to showcase their skills and the secret ingredient. All of Nickel City Chef’s secret ingredients come from right here in Western New York!
