The Brief


During the Golden Plate Challenge, contestants have 3 rounds to incorporate our secret ingredients into the absolute best 3-course meal of their lives.

Our panel of carefully selected and highly esteemed judges awards points for innovation, presentation and taste to determine who wins the Golden Plate and who's left washing dishes.

The chefs with the most points at the end of the 3 rounds compete head-to-head in the final event for the Golden Plate Title, a vacation to Florida and other prizes!

The Bigger Mission


The Golden Plate Challenge is a fundraiser for the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. Our Goal is to raise $15,000 for hungry families throughout the Nashville community. To do this, we are seeking corporate sponsorship, selling tickets for each of the 4 events and accepting donations of funds, food and time.

The Social Media Component


The Golden Plate Challenge relies heavily on social media to connect with everyone involved. In fact, Facebook is integral to its success.

As part of the contest, contestants have to post their recipes on the GPC Facebook page for everyone to see. This is how the judges are able to compare all the entries and make their selections. The general public votes for their own favorite entries too. The contestant with the most "likes" each round earns the coveted wildcard spot to cook head-to-head with the judges' picks.

We encourage you to follow the contest because it's the easiest and fastest way to stay up to date with what's going on with the Golden Plate Challenge.

Help spread the word by liking this page and telling all your friends and family about it too! We want to make the GPC as big as possible because  the more it grows, the more we can help Second Harvest feed hungry families throughout middle Tennessee. 


Join us as the city's greatest chefs battle it out to create the ultimate dining experience!
