ABOUT CFN
WHAT IS CULINARY FIGHT NIGHT®?
Almost five years ago, a very interesting event was born. This very unique experience,
intended to highlight local chefs and their culinary skills as well as bring awareness to various
local foundations and charities, has become a huge success. Once again, it’s time for
Culinary Fight Night®; “Where Cooking and Competition Collide!”
Culinary Fight Night® is an interactive cooking competition that pairs local chefs, head to
head in a Vegas style boxing ring setting where they will compete for an array of prizes. Via
www.culinaryfightnight.com, guests are asked to RSVP and then vote for a secret ingredient.
Our two teams of chefs will take the 3 ingredients with the most votes to the full scale boxing
ring to fight it out! The chefs will be required to prepare a 3 course meal for all guests as well
as a star studded celebrity judging panel using these ingredients. Each course will be scored
in three categories; Taste, Creativity, and Presentation. In the end, the team leader with the
most points will win a customized CFN® Championship Belt, the title of Culinary Fight
Night® Champion and a cash prize, half of which will be donated to their charity of choice.
What separates Culinary Fight Night® from other cooking events is the high emphasis on
charity. Our live audiences have had the pleasure of assisting such charities as the Careers
through Culinary Arts Program, the Do the 2 Walk for Breast Cancer, the National MS Society
NYC Chapter, Genesis Family Shelter of Atlanta, the Sickle Cell Foundation of Ga., St. Jude’s
Children’s Hospital, Dinner For Kids Foundation, The Ludacris Foundation and the Alzheimer
Association, just to name a few. Inside of this package, you will also find a wealthy list of local
celebrities that have donated their time to Culinary Fight Night® and our benefactors over
the years. Our unique combination of entertainment, star power, location and philanthropy not
only have contributed to our immediate success, but also have made Culinary Fight Night®
truly unparalleled by today’s culinary competition standards.

Locations: Culinary Fight Night® will continue their nationwide tour by making stops in the
Midwest: Des Moines, IA (Jan. 10, 2015), Chicago, IL (January 25th), Milwaukee, WI (February
22nd) and St. Louis, MO (March 29th). In each city, 2 teams of local chefs will compete head
to head inside of a full scale boxing ring and prepare a gourmet 3 course meal for our panel of
celebrity judges as well as selected members of a live audience. Once all four individual
champions are selected, our semi-finalists will return to Des Moines, IA, where they will be
battling it out for $20,000 to share with their charity of choice. During this tour, we will be
partnering with several production companies and compiling all footage from our events in order
to produce a sizzle reel. Once completed, CFN’s will begin the necessary steps to partner with
a television network.
Comparable Events: Culinary Fight Night® has a demographic that is very similar to that of
many comparable large scale food festivals that take place annually around the country (The
Taste of DC, The Taste of Atlanta, The Food Network’s Food and Wine Festival and Cochon
555). We offer the “ultimate foodie” a unique combination of entertainment, star power, location
and philanthropy that has not only contributed to our immediate success but also has made
Culinary Fight Night® truly unparalleled by today’s culinary competition standards.
Brand Strength: Culinary Fight Night® has cultivated an exclusive and recognizable brand
identity due to our 3 years of operation. Our Public Relation partners, publicists and graphic
designers have the experience, eye for detail and reputation that will allow Culinary Fight
Night® to expand into other markets including television and continue to cultivate our
philanthropic mission while building strategic alliances nationwide then globally.
Operating Expertise: The management team at Culinary Fight Night® has a vast array of
experience in the hospitality and event planning industries. They each have successful track
records and together have the right combination of attributes necessary to deliver an awesome
yet unique dining experience.
