VERSUS 2: BJ Smith vs. Ryan Fox

June, 2015

About VERSUS
hree ingredients, six courses, two top Portland chefs. Versus is PLAZA DEL TORO's competitive dinner series where two chefs have one month to bring their A-game and push boundaries developing dishes featuring three ingredients of our choice. At the end of the month, they come out swinging with three back-to-back courses, followed by dessert from PLAZA DEL TORO pasty chef Carrie Merrill. As a gastronomic society for the advancement of the culinary arts, we want PLAZA to, first and foremost, be a place for chefs to study and play, so there won't be too many rules. Guests vote at the end of dinner, one chef wins, and we donate a portion of the proceeds to the winning chef's charity of choice.
