Three Maine chefs went head-to-head September 16, at the Augusta Civic Center, competing in Spectrum Generations’ 12th annual Celebrity Chef Challenge fundraiser and serving over 200 guests.
Chef Michael Gosselin, of bon Vivant, a vibrant part of Lewiston’s downtown, received the highly-coveted Judges’ Choice Award, and Chef Steven Dumas, an Augusta native and owner/head chef at Augusta’s Otto’s on the River, earned the People’s Choice Award. Joseph Tupper, head chef at the popular Muddy Rudder Restaurant, in Yarmouth, also created an inspiring dish that did not disappoint, according to a news release from Lindsay MacDonald, Vice President of Community Engagement for Spectrum Generations.
“These funds will have an immediate, positive impact for older adults and adults with disabilities that are homebound and facing food insecurity. Incredibly, over $30,000 worth of in-kind support was also donated by way of food, silent auction items and other goods and services. We couldn’t do our important work without this caring community of supporters,” said MacDonald.
