RFT's Iron Fork 2017 was a Fun and Delicious Hit

RFT's 10th annual Iron Fork competition took place at Palladium & Joule (1400 N Park Place, 314-881-4301) on Thursday evening, bringing together 25 St. Louis restaurants chosen by RFT food critic Cheryl Baehr. Each chef brought a signature dish, and attendees enjoyed unlimited samples from each restaurant, drinks and music. But that's not all -- the event was also a chef competition, judged by local celebrities. Spoiler alert: Scott Davis of Rise Coffee defended his title.
