SUMMARY:Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge Committee Interest Meeting (Date Option #1)
DESCRIPTION:The Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge\, a distributed cooking competition\, engages over twenty restaurants and over a thousand diners in creating delicious\, widely-available vegan dishes each year. \nMasala Fire Tacos\, winner of last year’s TC Vegan Chef Challenge! This dish is now on Namaste Cafe’s permanent menu. \nCompassionate Action for Animals has been organizing Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge since 2019\, initially launching the program with support from Vegan Outreach.
