With factory farming and a nation of fast-food eaters, folks who want better cuisine have separated themselves from the overweight, diabetes-ridden herd by becoming foodies.

Join in at Foodie Fight 2 where you can watch as local foodie bloggers Ty Largo (www.juxtapalate.com) and Joel LaTondress (www.onefordinner.com) rush around the kitchen to create three dishes in one hour with the help of their Sous Chefs Matt Carter of Zinc Bistro/The Mission and Eugenia Theodosopolous of Essence Bakery Cafè. Robin Miller of Food Network will emcee the event as Joe Johnston of Joe's Real BBQ and TV personality Andi Barness judge. A third mystery judge will be decided by a raffle.

The showdown includes appetizers by the Mission, dessert from Essence, and a wine tasting by Arcadia Fine Wine.

Sat., Sept. 11, 11 a.m.-1 p.m., 2010
