Four hand picked local chefs will call on their culinary skills as they face off against one another to prepare a spectacular two-course meal consisting of an appetizer & entree with GARLIC as the theme. The catch? In each round, they have to use all the ingredients the Pocono Garlic Festival Farmers provides them, however unlikely they might be (Chocolate Covered Garlic, anyone?). At the end of each course, a panel of four guest judges "chops" one chef who fails to measure up in terms of taste, presentation and creativity.
