The inaugural ACF Certified Master Chef® Dine Around takes place Wednesday, July 18 during Cook. Craft. Create. A group of CMC®s will prepare pan-seared duck breast, beluga lentil and mushroom salad, summer corn puree with avocado crema, beef goulash with dumplings and honey thyme waffle with foie gras-cognac ice cream.

To do all that, they're going to need some help. That's where you come in.

Registered Convention attendees can sign up to stage during the event. Each CMC® will choose one professional and one student to assist him. Sign up at this link by June 29 at 4 p.m. EST to be considered.
