The U.S. Open is most-attended annual sporting event in the world. Along with watching tennis, that means people eat a lot of food.

Every year, the U.S. Open gathers some of the most skilled chefs in the world. The 2015 edition features returning celebrities Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto, James Beard award winner Tony Mantuano and Richard Sandoval. Also joining the crew are Michelin star chefs Michael White and Ed Brown.
