In addition to Holland, chefs participating in the event included: Jennifer Watson from Jennifer’s Desserts, Dee Truitt from Kramers Deli, Jaye Miller from the Oxford House, Sarah Carman from Sarah Bella Catering, Terry Michels from the Queen City Creamery and Deli, Larry Roby from Rent-A-Chef, Joshua Bradburn from the Cumberland Country Club, Jennifer Scarborough and Greg Carter from Frostburg State University.
