The chef battle was one of the event’s three components. Contestants were given sixty minutes to dazzle more than seventy attendees in the Blue Barracks by preparing recipes incorporating a secret ingredient that would have been available in the Town of York in 1812: venison. A panel of judges crowned Vivian the Fort York Food Fight Champion and the recipient of a $2500 grand prize. (Credit: Photo by Nick Kozak)
