4 Chefs. 3 Rounds. 1 Champion.

Welcome to Iron Caterer Throwdown, Greenville’s premier cooking competition!

Our Cause

Iron Caterer Throwdown was founded by Summer and Stephen Gossett with a simple belief: great food can create great impact. What began as a culinary competition has grown into a community movement that brings chefs, restaurants, and supporters together to raise funds and awareness for culinary and hunger-relief causes across the Upstate of South Carolina. Through competitions, chef dinners, and collaborative events, Iron Caterer celebrates the talent of the local food community while directing resources to organizations that feed, support, and strengthen our neighbors.

To date, the Iron Caterer Throwdown Foundation has raised over $300,000 for those in culinary need.
