A great selection of North Carolina craft beer and wine will also be available.

NCRLA Chef Showdown tickets are $125 and are all-inclusive. Attendees must be 21 years or older. Guests will have the opportunity to vote to determine several People’s Choice awards based off the food and drink served at the event.
