- $2,000 spent. THE TEXAS FARMERS MARKET CHEF THROWDOWN BRINGS AUSTIN AREA RESTAURANT CHEFS TOGETHER FOR A FRIENDLY COOKING COMPETITION SOURCED 100% FROM THE FARMERS MARKET. THE EVENT DRAWS LARGE CROWDS WHO LEARN FROM THE CHEFS HOW TO COOK SEASONALLY FROM THE FARMERS MARKET AND HOW THEY USE SEASONALITY TO INSPIRE THEIR OWN RESTAURANT COOKING. ADDITIONALLY, THE FARMERS SHARE INFORMATION ON WHAT IT IS LIKE TO GROW FOOD IN CENTRAL TEXAS AND HOW THE WEATHER FACTORS INTO THE TASTE OF THE CROPS, AVAILABILITY AND IN SOME CASES, LACK OF AVAILABILITY. IN THE LEAD UP TO THE CHEF THROWDOWN, A SILENT AUCTION IS HELD WITH THAT MONEY GOING 100% TOWARDS TFM'S AG PRODUCER SUPPORT FUND WHICH HANDS OUT GRANTS TO FARMERS IN TIMES OF CRISIS.
