Audience members will choose who will take home the esteemed title of ‘Maine Lobster Chef of the Year,’ while enjoying a four-course lunch sampling, accompanied by a signature ‘Harvest’ whoopie pie prepared by Amy Bouchard of Wicked Whoopies and wine pairings from locally crafted Big Claw Wine and the leading importer of luxury wines and spirits, Moet Hennessy.

Our four judges include: Sam Hayward, Chef/Partner of Fore Street; Kathleen Fleury, Food Editor for Down East magazine; Chef Wilfred Beriau (CEC, CCE, AAC), Department Chair and Professor at Southern Maine Community College and Steven Corry, Co-Proprietor/Executive Chef of Five Fifty-Five.
