The “SakaBozzo” cooking team – made up of chef personalities Sam Bozzo and Gene Sakahara – has cooked at the festival for 17 years and will compete against a mystery Bay Area chef. Both teams will prepare their signature dish and then their oponent’s signature dish.
Six audience volunteers will serve as judges.
