Sears Chef Challenge

 This sounds like so much fun.  It is the Sears Chef Challenge. Sears is looking for the next great chef.  I know many great chefs who participate, each week, at Tempt My Tummy Tuesday.  So, are you the next great chef?  Not only is this a fun competition, but money will be raised to help local food banks and food related charities.  How great is that?

Here is what the website says about the Sears Chef Challenge:

The Sears Chef Challenge aims to find the nation's next up and coming chef while raising money for the nation's food banks. And we need YOUR help to find America's next great chef.
A total of 24 chefs in four cities: New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C will compete by completing a variety of culinary challenges, culminating in the Sears Chef Challenge Championship Finals at the Kenmore Live Studio in Chicago. The chefs who progress toward the crucial semi-final stage will be decided by YOU, the online voters.
In addition, each chef will be paired with a food bank or food related charity in their home cities and given the opportunity to raise money for their communities.
Each chef will complete his or her challenge at special live events at Sears stores in their home towns; each chef will post their challenge videos, recipes, and more to the Chef Challenge site as well as their respective Facebook and Twitter pages to help you decide which chef you'd like to see in the Semi-Finals.
The competition will consist of two rounds, each with a quarter-final and semi-final stage.
 
They are also choosing AT HOME contestants:

The Sears Chef Challenge also invites you to become one of our special "At Home" contestants. Submit video of you preparing your favorite recipe, complete with information about you and why you think you should win, for a chance to win the following prize package:
A full suite of Kenmore appliances for the kitchen (Refrigerator, Range, Dishwasher, and
Microwave or hood)
A trip for two to be a guest judge during the Semi-Final in Chicago
An invitation to become a featured blogger on Sears.com
Please note: there will be one "At Home" winner chosen for each round in the Sears Chef Challenge.
