Joe Flamm and Jeff Mauro take on turkey, stuffing and mac and cheese at Rockwell on the River, where guests choose the winner and help direct the competition’s charitable total.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
At JoJo’s Feast Mode, the audience vote is more than a verdict on three Thanksgiving dishes: it decides which chef’s chosen charity receives an additional $10,000.
Joe Flamm and Jeff Mauro will each offer their take on turkey, stuffing and mac and cheese. Guests can sample the dishes and vote for a favorite, making the audience—not an announced judging panel—the deciding voice.
Flamm is a Top Chef winner and James Beard-nominated chef. Mauro is a Food Network personality known as the Sandwich King of Chicago and is also a frontman for The Jewel Bags.
