For one sizzling luncheon on Monday, September 10th, the Hunter Region will come alive as its best chefs go head-to-head against Sydney's best food creatives.

The gloves will come off when Hunter Valley Chefs & Co, a not-for-profit organisation that strives to deliver a superior culinary experience for visitors to the Hunter Region through world class chefs and events, will host the 3rd annual 'Food Fight'.

The much anticipated event will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley, and aims to showcase the region's very best local talent and mouth-watering fresh produce, pitted against some of Sydney's kitchen heavyweights.

In the Sydney corner will be Matt Kemp formerly of Balzac, who will lead the 'food fighters', along with team mates, Warren Turnbull from Assiette, Colin Fassnidge from Four in Hand, and leading Sydney culinary personality Justin North who will complete the group.
