Come watch or take part in this year's Slice, Dice and Spice NY event

Everyone's got a culinary event now, and we all want to be just like Iron Chef, right? Maybe so, but not every event is at the internationally known New York Wine & Culinary Center in the beautiful Finger Lakes Region of New York. With 11 lakes, abundant produce and a booming wine industry, there is quite a bit of culinary talent here, so why not have a contest to see who is the best?

At Slice, Dice and Spice NY 2010, 9 chefs from around the Finger Lakes will battle it out with their teams of amateur foodies to determine who is the ultimate Finger Lakes chef. They will be given 60 minutes and have to make three dishes using primarily Finger Lakes and NY State ingredients, most of which will be kept secret until the clock starts.

The third annual Slice, Dice and Spice will be:

- Preliminary rounds: Sept. 13, 9 AM to 6:30 PM at the New York Wine & Culinary Center in Canandaigua, NY. The preliminary round is open to the media only.

- Final round: Sept. 19, 1 PM to 4 PM at the New York Wine & Culinary Center. This event will include tasting tables for local restaurants and wineries, an awards ceremony and door prizes. The final round is open to the public and media.

If you would like to be on a team, observe the event, be a judge or come to the finger Lakes for a culinary FAM tour, please contact AJ Shear at 1-877-FUN-IN-NY.
