Saturday evening, I had the opportunity to photograph Premier Chef Northwest Arkansas at the Rogers Convention Center. The event brought together some of the area's talented chefs for an evening of friendly competition while raising funds for the Rogers Public Library Foundation. Between the chefs, the crowd, and everyone working behind the scenes, there was plenty to photograph. Here's a look at some of the people and moments that made the evening memorable.
Congratulations to Chef Matt Zimmerman of Cherokee Casino, this year's Premier Chef Northwest Arkansas champion! Along with the title, he received a $1,500 travel award and a Golden Ticket to the World Food Championships.
A special thank you to the Rogers Public Library Foundation and everyone who worked to make this event possible. It was a pleasure photographing the evening and seeing so many people come together to support a great cause.
