GELATO WARS
.
By Local Chefs
Held at all three Valley Gelato Spot locations, and at participating chefs' restaurants, the 2nd Annual Gelato Wars will take place until August 31st.
The Gelato Spot is left with 9 chefs competing to become the next Gelato King. Each chef has brought a unique taste to the table, leaving customers with a tough decision on who has truly brought the best flavor. The chef who sells the most gelato at all three Gelato Spots combined wins.
Along with bragging rights, the winning chef will also receive a custom molded gelato cone trophy designed and crafted by Paul Yaffe, $500 cash and have a $5,000 check presented on their behalf to Make-A-Wish Arizona.
Now to what we have all been waiting for….the current ranks in the race to become the next champion.
