Top Chef: Downtown 2020

The Iowa City Downtown District is excited to announce the return of Top Chef: Downtown for its 10th year. This widely well-received event showcases the culinary creativity and artistic cocktails of our Downtown District restaurants. The event is set for Monday, February 24th, from 5:00 PM-8:00pm at Graduate Iowa City.

Downtown and Northside Marketplace restaurants prepare signature dishes from some of the area's favorite restaurants, while area mixologists and baristas craft exquisite cocktails and coffee beverages. The title "Top Chef" is awarded by a panel of culinary experts and all guests can weigh in to determine the People's Choice winner. This year, the event will celebrate 10 years and proceeds will be donated to the Strengthen-Grow-Evolve Campaign with The Englert Theatre and FilmScene. The two organizations will join us at the event with some extra entertainment for guests to enjoy! Sponsored by Hills Bank and Trust Company, US Foods and Graduate Iowa City, Top Chef: Downtown will be an evening you won't want to miss!

Tickets will go on sale January 1, 2020.
