Austin Eats names chef showcase winners

One Earth, a climate action advocacy group, teamed up with Austin Eats and its 26 local partners last week for a free chef showcase and movie night.

The event featured a film called “They’re Trying To Kill Us” and a panel discussion about the movie. The movie co-produced by Billie Eilish and Chris Paul can be rented for $1.99: https://www.theyretryingtokillus.com/

As part of the festivities, a chef’s showcase with a macaroni-and-cheese cookoff also was held. The winners of the competition are:

·      Best of the West Mac & Cheese: Edward Jackson of Chef Daddy with his broccoli mac & cheese

·      Crowd Favorite: Chef Daddy’s

·      Most Creative: Katr2U

·      Best Vegan Recipe: Thank God 4 Raw Vegan Treats

·      Healthiest Recipe: The Natural Branches Restaurant

·      Best Classic Mac: MacAurther’s Restaurant

·      Best Seasonings: David, son of Qia Carswell of Chicago Style Vegan

Youth ages 14 to 25 who watched the film can also participate in a Verses & Vittles Literary Slam. It’s a competition for a poem, rap, song, lyric, word collage or other response to the film, and organizers said it does not need to be performed for those who are shy. Winning entries can earn $100, $50 or $25 for their works. The deadline is Oct. 20.
