Gourmet Gala will have 50 Members of Congress compete as Congressional Chefs, serving their favorite hors d’oeuvres and desserts. Sponsor representatives will serve as their sous-chefs. The Congressional Chef recipes are judged with awards given for six categories of achievement. The event will attract more than 100 sponsors, over 650 guests, and raise more than $1.4 million for March of Dimes.
