The three chefs will compete in two rounds to see who can create the best healthy appetizer and entree. Not only will attendees experience a live cooking competition, they will learn tips on how to make healthy food choices while dining out, what healthy portion sizes are and cooking tips and recipes for a healthy home. Additionally, five lucky attendees will get to participate by being a part of the tasting panel.

The MegaChef Celebrity Cook Off will be hosted by celebrity chef G. Garvin and judged by Akin Ayodele, a former NFL player and Dallas native. The cook off will take place in the Dallas Convention Center at the Expo Hall Stage on Saturday, August 22, from 10:30 a.m. - noon.
