Oct. 16: High Steaks at Square 1682

Nicole Rossi told you about it in What's Cooking, but here's a reminder to check out this Sunday's High Steaks Chefs' Showdown on the block outside Square 1682 (Hotel Palomar, 121 S. 17th St.). As you've likely gathered from the name, the competition will involve a roster of Philly chefs — 1682's Guillermo Tellez, R2L/MidAtlantic's Daniel Stern, Paradiso's Lynn Rinaldi, Fish's Mike Stollenwerk and defending champ Peter Woolsey of Bistrot La Minette among them — handling a deceptive task: whipping up interpretations of the cheesesteak. Which direction they'll go with their renditions is TBD, as there are no real rules in place regarding how classic or how nouveau each chef can go — should be interesting. I'll have the great pleasure of sitting on the judges' panel along with folks like WMMR's Matt Cord, GPTMC prez Meryl Levitz and Pat's owner Frank Olivieri Jr.
Proceeds from the event, which runs from 3 to 5 p.m., benefit Philadelphia Academies Inc. Admission is $20 and includes cheesesteak samples (Victory will be selling beer on the block); tix are available here.
