Iron Fork: You never know who's going to be there.

This year's chef competition pits returning champion Jason Tilford of Milagro Modern Mexican and Mission Taco Joint against chefs from Cleveland-Heath, Fork & Stix and Farmhaus.

Still on the fence? Doesn't it hurt, sitting there? Let us sweeten the pot for you: Go ahead and purchase a general-admission ticket -- $35, includes unlimited food tasting and three full-sized drinks -- before the end of the day this Friday, March 15. Of everyone who does purchase tickets before then, we will upgrade two pairs of tickets at random to VIP status.

VIP tickets ($75) include unlimited food samples and drinks as well as a swag bag and access to a special VIP lounge with prime viewing of the chef competition.
