Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa is thrilled to host its 10th Annual Fish to Fork Main Event offering an unmatched "foodie" experience, including true dock-to-dish specialties in a fun, interactive atmosphere. The resort is bringing back some of guests’ favorite chefs from the past nine events, adding a nostalgic and highly anticipated element to the 10th anniversary festivities.
Competing chefs focusing on sustainable and fresh ingredients will showcase their fishing and culinary skills, and ultimately be tested with a live vote from event guests.
Chefs compete in individual and group challenges live as event guests sample their dishes and vote for their favorites.
Individual Challenge | 6 - 7:30 p.m. – For the Individual Challenge, each chef is assigned to a cooking station. From these stations, they will turn their catch into a signature dish to be sampled by event guests floating from station to station.
Group Challenge | 8 - 9 p.m. – Chefs are divided into teams for a final “Chef Showdown." They will have an hour to produce an impromptu gourmet dish for all event guests. A secret ingredient will be revealed moments before the competition begins and must be incorporated into their dish.
Event guests will vote for their favorite Individual Challenge chef and Group Challenge team via their personal mobile devices. Winners will be announced after the Group Challenge.
Additional food stations showcasing Omni's culinary team will be available throughout the evening.
Throughout the evening there will be an opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win a stay at one of the many Omni Hotels & Resorts. All raffle proceeds will benefit Omni Hotels & Resorts’ Say Goodnight to Hunger initiative with Feeding America.
