The fundraiser, originally conceived from a Leadership Atmore class and now sponsored by the chamber, is an event where local restaurants, businesses, non-profits and cooks offer samples of some of their best dishes. The tasters judge their favorites.

Tickets, which are $10 each, can be purchased at the chamber office and from any chamber ambassador. The chamber ambassadors are Andrew Howell, Austin Williams,

Eboni Williams, Hannah Nelson, Jackson Breckenridge, Kamryn Mothershed, Keyaira Wilson, Lauren Metzler, Lazarrian Boykin, Pate Robinson, Rodney Lee Jr. and Victoria Sawyer.
