What/Why:

***THIS EVENT IS NOW CLOSED.***

*If you RSVPd before 3pm, you should have a confirmation email in your inbox... or spam folder. Feel free to join us this evening!
-----------------------------------------
RSVP here for yourself and your plus one, then join us for a bang-up battle of a bash to benefit SHARP Literacy on October 15 from 8-10pm!

Chefs from across the city will be going toe-to-toe with original "Iron Chef"-style apps created just for this charity event, and with a $20 suggested donation to SHARP at the door, you're the judge.

($20 gets you: nine apps, tons of drinks and sweets, a great time and the satisfaction of knowing you're helping Milwaukee kids in need of a better education. TOTALLY WORTH IT.)

Try them all and cast your vote for "crowd favorite" while enjoying some of MKE's finest beverages and entertainment in one of our city's most historic, beautiful spaces and all for an incredible local MKE cause: K-5 literacy!

**Confirmation emails will be sent to the email address you used to sign up for Yelp (on a rolling basis) up until the day before the event (10/14)**

21+ only, please.

    I RSVP'd on the elite page with my husband as my guest, does he need to RSVP separately on the regular invite?  The instructions are not super clear!

    Nope! As outlined on the Elite calendar you're allowed up to two guests for the Elite VIP hour, Kristin... your husband can join you early so long as you let us know how many folks you're bringing. No need for a second RSVP.

    Hi all!
    Some have asked about purchasing tickets beforehand - no need!

    We'll be taking donations right next to check-in. Choose your own adventure: cash, check, Visa, Mastercard! We have the Paypal version of Square but everything looks to be in order for plastic.

    SHARP has set up a super-cool restaurant tree... what a great way to give back! $20 to pull an envelope and chance to win up to a $100 gift card - 35+ restaurant cards available! They'll also have a great silent auction going on in the Speakeasy (downstairs in the Great Hall... 414 Photography will be down there with a photobooth, to boot.)

    Hi there, awesome people,

    A quick note that we're now on a waitlist for tonight - we're really *really* close to our capacity so if you get a waitlist response, just be patient! We'll let you know by 3pm or so if we can squeeze you in.

    We'll be shutting the event down to all new RSVPs at that time as well, so if you want to throw your name in the queue, do it before then. Thanks and OMG it's tonight... yaaaas!

    Noticed it's wait listed now (unexpectedly will now be in town) - how will we know if a spot opens up? Email?

    Thanks!

    I got a reminder from Yelp about the event, but no confirmation email that I can see. Is there any way to double check if I made the list? It would be nice to know before I head over there if I'm in or not...

    While I have been to Best Place dozens of times, I have never done a Yelp event and wasn't quite sure what to expect. I will say it definitely exceeded my expectations and was a lot of fun. Well done Rachel!
