Sample your way through a 2-hour tasting of sweet and savory bites from local cafes, bakeries, caterers and fine dining establishments. Let your taste buds guide your decision as you vote for the winner in categories like "Best Bite," "Best Dessert" and the grand title of "Best of the Chefs."

If the competition gets too heated, take a break in the outdoor beer garden or explore the silent auction prizes.

This year also marks the fifth anniversary of the James Beard Award-winning program, Friday Arts, which has introduced WHYY viewers to some of Philadelphia's most innovative restauranteurs, talented artists and groundbreaking performers. Help us mark the occasion by celebrating at Best of the Chefs with live music, visual arts and interactive food demonstrations from the brilliant artists featured on Friday Arts over the years..
