Ultimate Chef – round two
Last month, Opus and Perrihouse went head-to-head – or fork-to-fork – in the first round of Bangor’s Ultimate Chef Competition, and chef Roger Gelis of Opus came out on top. The food fight continues next week – with the Muddy Rudder taking on Lucerne Inn. The winner will compete against Gelis for the title of Ultimate Chef. Tickets to the second round of dinners, which are scheduled for Monday, April 23, and Monday, May 7, cost $90 for both dinners and are available at the Bangor Convention and Visitors Bureau on Harlow Street in Bangor or by calling 947-5205.
