The community behind the Louisville food blog Louisville Hot Bytes will host a chowder-filled fundraiser next month.

The Rumble at the River, a Seafood Chowder Throwdown, which will take place March 21 at Captain's Quarters, will pit some of Louisville's best chefs against one another to find the best chowder in the city. Proceeds of the event will go toward The Hope Center for Growth, an organization that runs a summer camp for autistic youth.

Some participants in the competition include: Theatre Square Market Place, Equus/Jack’s, Dish on Market, NA Exchange and Lilly's. Tickets are $15 per person.
