BROOKLYN, NY (February 7, 2012) – Sixteen cities. Four hundred amateur chefs.
Only ONE national champion. On the heels of a successful 5-city tour in 2011, The
Food Experiments, the nation’s leading cook-off organization, is back with a 16-city
National Tour sponsored by Brooklyn Brewery. The first stop on the tour is The
Houston Beer Experiment on March 4, 2012 at Fitzgerald’s from 1-4 pm.

Since its inception, almost every single Food Experiments competition has been met
with a sold out crowd. Houston judges consist of a high profile line-up including Chris Shepherd former Catalan chef and now chef of Underbelly, Adam Dorris chef of Stella Sola, and head Chowhound and producer of Southbound Foods Jenny Wang.
Winners will be competing for a 5-course tasting and a charcuterie class with Adam

Sola Restaurant, Le Creuset, Anolon, Wusthof, Chameleon Cold Brew Coffee,
Trentino Gelato, TexasFood.com, Urban Chef, Well Done Cooking Classes, etc.

The Experiment will have around 25 local amateur chefs who have prepared a
unique creation incorporating the food theme, beer. Samples will be served to the
350 food enthusiasts in attendance as well as celebrity judges, and everyone will
then have an opportunity to choose which “cheftestant” will gain bragging rights;
That is, until the National Championship on December 16. The winner from each
city’s Experiment will be flown in to Brooklyn courtesy of Brooklyn Brewery to
compete with the best of the best to become The Food Experiments’ 2012 reigning

The Experiments are a series of cooking competitions that challenge amateur chefs to create around 300 samples of a dish featuring an “experimental” ingredient or theme. Eight sold-out Experiments have taken place in Brooklyn involving beer, cheese, chocolate, tacos, brunch, Brooklyn roots, holiday and booze themes.
