Participating Chefs will face off and compete to wow both judges and guests with one signature dish from their restaurant. New to the event this year is the addition of a Pastry Chef Category that compliments the showcased entrees. Mixologists from Downtown District bars and restaurants will compete for the title of Top Bartender by serving their most creative cocktail. Showcasing their local Iowa brews will be a number of breweries and distilleries.

A People's Choice award, voted on by all guests in attendance, will be presented to the showcased participants upon the conclusion of the event. Who will join David Wiesenek (2011) of the Motley Cow and Juan Casco (2012) of Mondo's Saloon as a Top Chef:  Downtown Iowa City winner?
