50 MEN WHO CAN COOK
How it works...
Local community and school leaders are selected to prepare their recipe of choice including salads, soups, sides, entrées or desserts. Each Celebrity Chef is asked to bring 800, 2 oz. samples for our guests to taste at the event. Tickets get you entrance into the event and includes all the food you can taste and adult beverages of your choice. Mystery bags and a raffle will offer guests opportunities to support our schools. You also get to vote for your favorite appetizer/salad/side dish, soup/chili, entrée, and dessert for the awards that will be presented at the end to our Celebrity Chefs. This is an “adult-oriented” event and guests are discouraged from bringing children.
Highlights of the Night!
If you cooked, attended, sponsored, volunteered, bought or donated a Silent Auction item or mystery bag at 50 Men Who Can Cook...THANK YOU! Education Foundation programs like our teacher grants, scholarships, Chrissy's Closet and more are only made possible by the generosity of our community. Thank you for supporting College Station I.S.D. at 50 Men and throughout the year!
