14th Annual DC Crab Cake Competition at Ivy City Smokehouse
The DC Food & Beverage Collective (DCFBC) and The Tavern at Ivy City Smokehouse are pleased to host the 14th Annual DC Crab Cake Competition! The contest will pit eight of the area’s top chefs against one another in a crab cake showdown utilizing Department-verified Maryland blue crab. The winning chef’s restaurant will receive funds to support a culinary intern in their kitchen.
In addition to this “main event,” students from area culinary schools or programs will compete in their own crab cake competition. The winning student will be awarded a $500 scholarship.
Guests will have the opportunity to sample each of the chef contestants’ crab cakes and cast a vote for the People's Choice award.
