**NEW! The Citizens United Award**
Money can’t buy everything — but it can buy elections!
The 2016 Iron Chef competition will introduce a new award for the Chef who raises the most cash votes in their name to benefit TRC. This entirely unregulated process will favor the most creative, random, or ruthless strategy for getting the most bucks into their buckets! The proud winner will receive a one-year supply of envy, infamy, and self-satisfaction.
**NEW Fall 2016! “Master Chef” Chosen by the People**
The winners of each ingredient battle at the 2016 Iron Chef event will be invited to compete a single dish at our 2016 fall fundraiser. The winner will be selected by the people. More details to come!
The Battle Winners and Judge’s Overall Best Dish will be chosen by our Iron Judges:
Alder David Ahrens
Jeanne Erickson
Tom Hirsch
Corey Jacob
Heidi Konkel
Matt Koz
Melissa Mennig
Supervisor Michelle Ritt
Noah Sherwood
Libby Tucci
Tania Twining (Alexander RE)
And the People’s Choice Award, sponsored by Wegner CPAs, will be decided by you — the people! The chef will receive a gift basket from Wegner to help them in future culinary endeavors.
Rental rights are no joke as TRC faces funding cuts and Wisconsin faces more changes to tenant landlord laws. But we aren’t daunted! In our tradition of resilience, we are making this event even better!
“Real life. Real solutions.” Help us keep helping!
In 2015, TRC helped more than 18,000+ people with rental housing issues. Even with our funding cuts and changes to services, those numbers will remain high! Your support at Iron Chef will help us continue to keep families safe in their homes and unlock the doors to affordable housing.
Bring an empty stomach and an adventurous spirit! The suggested donation is $25 — more if you can and less if you can’t. No one turned away for lack of funds. Every guest will get ballots for the People’s Choice Award to vote on their favorite dish!
