• Bring your prepared food anytime after 9:00am. Serving will begin at 11:00am!

• Each chef will have half of a table (3’ of an 6’ table) to set up and decorate. Bring whatever you need to contain your food and keep it warm. Bring your own serving utensils.

If you bring one, we cannot and do not guarantee access to a working plug. We will do our best to accommodate.
