Carla Hall and Stefan Richter, two Top Chef finalists, are putting on their culinary boxing gloves again, this time in the name of charity.

Oh Carla. Two weeks ago, so many of us Top Chef fans wanted you to win Bravo's reality competition series, especially against homewrecker Hosea and smug Stefan. But then you went and let former contestant Casey Thompson steal your thunder and sabotage your meal.

Carla Hall may have a chance to redeem herself, however. She and fellow finalist Stefan Richter will be battling in the kitchen once again, this time for a good cause.

Each Top Chef, assisted by a Chicago-area chef and one audience member, will have 30 minutes to put together a three-course meal using a secret ingredient that will be revealed on site.

The showdown will take place at 6 p.m., April 4, at The Chopping Block, inside the Merchandise Mart. Tickets are $150 and include food, drink, and the chance to participate in raffles and live auctions.

Proceeds benefit True Childhood, a national organization hoping to combat the negative effects of influential media on children.

Visit the True Flavors Website for more details.

Hopefully, Casey will stay far, far away this time.

Matt Bartosik, editor of Off the Rocks' next issue and "between blogs" blogger, has a secret man-crush on Tom Colicchio.
