Flip on any food or travel network and most likely chefs are battling mano a mano in a duel to the death - or at least through dessert.

NetShed No. 9 - the Gig Harbor waterfront creative breakfast and lunch destination opened by Thad Lyman and Katie Doherty, the husband-wife team behind Brix 25 - will launch its version of a chef battle in February. They call it Fight Club, and the judges are you.

According to Fight Club hype, "While the chefs' battle, you are the judges; determining the fate of these culinary contenders. Enjoy three course of food from each chef, and the camaraderie of fellow judges as you rate the chef's on their skill, ingenuity, and flavors. You will be rooting for a winner and cheering for the losers. Cooking is a passion for these chefs, and they are chomping at the bit to show off their expertise and skill."

Tickets are $42 per person, and very limited due to the joint's size. Beer and wine will be served, so hire a babysitter to watch over your kids' fight club at home.

FIGHT CLUB, 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 6, NetShed No. 9, 3313 Harborview Dr., Gig Harbor, $42, 253.858.7175
