Bellevue 'Chef Battle' is Thursday to Benefit Hopelink

What would a top chef make out of ingredients from a food bank? You can find out Thursday, as chefs from Bellevue Collection restaurants battle it out at a benefit for Hopelink.

The chefs are Simon Zatyrka from Koral Bar & Kitchen, JJ Ullakko from The Pearl Bar, Jeff Slemaker from Paddy Coyne's Bellevue and Justin Johnson from Ruth's Chris Steak House, Bellevue.
