The contest will be at Mr. Sid, 1211 Centre St. in Newton, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Oct. 16. DJ John Dudley will MC the event, and hors d'oeuvres will be provided by Chef Dave.

Tickets to the event are available at participating restaurants and cost $10. Proceeds benefit the Newton-Needham Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Fund.
