"We can't wait to see these talented chefs show off their culinary skills." Some of this year's participating restaurants include: Nonna’s Euro-American Ristorante At the conclusion of each meal, participants will be asked to complete a survey card and will be entered into a drawing for gift certificates to participating restaurants.
