In a remarkable culinary face-off, celebrity chef Bobby Jones and renowned actor Carl Anderson are set to battle it out in the “Nacho Average Showdown” to raise funds for restaurant employees impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This exciting event is aimed at providing much-needed support to individuals in the restaurant industry, where approximately eight million workers have faced unemployment.
The showdown, sponsored by Tostitos, will be streamed live and judged by prominent figures including basketball legend Michael Jordan and actor Jamie Foxx. All proceeds will be directed to the Restaurant Employee Relief Fund (RERF), which offers $500 one-time grants to restaurant workers struggling to cover their living expenses due to the ongoing crisis.
Bobby Jones, who has an extensive background in the restaurant business, shared, “I’ve worked every role from dishwasher to chef, and I’ve seen firsthand how dedicated and hardworking these individuals are. They are the lifeblood of our communities, but they are in dire need of our support. The RERF is an opportunity for us to give back when it matters most.”
Despite facing challenges of his own, Jones has remained committed to aiding his colleagues in the restaurant sector. Recently, he successfully raised over $20 million through partnerships with several large corporations to bolster the fund for struggling workers.
The event will also feature the chefs’ sons, Liam Jones and Jack Anderson, who will compete against their fathers to create the ultimate nacho dish. Food Network host Lisa White will be the emcee, encouraging viewers to donate via the Food Network’s Facebook page.
