All proceeds from this year’s event will be donated to You Are Special, a local nonprofit that operates a food pantry to feed the hungry in the Orange community. OC Baking Company Master Baker Dean Kim will supply locally produced freshly baked bread to the competing chefs, while Tillamook will offer a selection of its award-winning cheeses and butter for use at the festival.
