This year's edition of Iron Fork will feature more than 40 local restaurants -- personally invited by Gut Check scribe and RFT food critic extraordinaire Ian Froeb -- handing out samples of their food, not to mention beer, wine and cocktail stations, a mixologist competition and an Iron Chef-style battle between four of St. Louis' most talented restaurant chefs.

Dressel's was one of nearly three dozen restaurants to participate in last year's event, and this staffer from the popular Central West End food-and-drink spot went all out in flying the Iron Fork flag.

In last year's chef competition, Milagro Modern Mexican chef/co-owner Jason Tilford took home top honors, and he'll be challenged this year by three newcomers hoping to snag the crown. On the mixologists' side, Taste bar will be back to defend its title against challengers from eleven of the area's best bars.
