Using three secret ingredients, four local chefs face off and create three dishes. This year, the ingredient clues are “sour, Asian, and a great topping.” They only have 20 minutes to concoct their culinary creations. Did we mention they’re doing this live in front of you?
Each of the chefs have the chance to win one of these awards, chosen by you:
Best Presentation
Most Creative
Best Taste
Most Entertaining

Each year, organizers choose a local non-profit to give a portion of ticket sales + silent auction proceeds to, and this year, they’ve chosen Loaves and Fishes, which distributes food to those in need.

Build your talent pipeline at this Upstate showcase

Calling all HR reps, talent acquisition leaders, and hiring managers: Upstate SC Alliance is hosting a Lunch + Employer Showcase on Wednesday, June 11 at Hotel Hartness. Here’s what that means:
Picture a reverse career fair, where employers can connect directly with representatives from 35 higher education institutions in the Upstate and surrounding areas (like Clemson, Furman, Duke, USC, and more). These career services professionals will move through the exhibition — like students moving through a career fair — to learn which employers have opportunities that align with their school’s academic programs.
The goal: To familiarize college + university career services staff with our region’s major industries, job opportunities, and quality of life so they can encourage their upcoming graduates to live and work in our region. We’re all about it.
Attendees will be able to showcase their companies’ near and long-term hiring needs, from internships and fellowships to full-time positions, getting face-to-face interactions with the people who guide new talent into the workforce.
A really good electric bikini trimmer. Its stainless steel ceramic blades provide a smooth shave free of nicks, razor burn, and ingrown hairs. Bonus: It’s waterproof + boasts up to five hours of battery life.
The fun doesn’t have to end here. After reading the newsletter, head over to our games page. Games refresh with new challenges every day at 6 a.m. from crossword puzzle to Sudoku to themed word search.
You know I love to read, and I’m so excited that M. Judson’s summer reading challenge is back. Check out my Reel from last year + stay tuned for a summer reading list from local experts hitting your inbox soon.
