People love food, watching food television and attending food events.

The New Haven region seems to welcome spring with a plethora of food happenings. My spring rendezvous begins with Worth Tasting’s first culinary walking tour of the season at 10:45 a.m. April 20, which I will host. In three-and-a-half hours, guests will visit nine eateries in downtown New Haven.

Elsewhere, join the bike riders at the Rock to Rock Earth Day celebration, 1-3 p.m. April 20 in East Rock Park’s College Woods. Bun Lai of Miya’s will cook off against Avi Szapiro of the newly opened ROIA at 1:30 p.m. There will also be a “food truck rodeo” featuring some of the city’s best outdoor vendors.

New Haven Restaurant Week begins the next day, April 21-26, when some of our favorites will offer $18 prix-fixe lunches and $32 dinners. Participating eateries include 116 Crown, Adrianna’s, Anna Liffey’s, Barcelona, Basta Trattoria, Bentara, Carmen Anthony, Caseus Fromagerie & Bistro, Cask Republic, Christopher Martin’s, Geronimo, Goodfellas, Heirloom, Ibiza, Istanbul Cafe, John Davenport’s, L’Orcio, Miya’s Sushi, Oaxaca Kitchen, Pacifico, Soul de Cuba Cafe, Temple Grill, Thali, Tre Scalini, Union League Cafe, Yolande’s Bistro & Creperie, Zafra Cuban Restaurant & Rum Bar, Zaroka and Zinc.

At 11:45 a.m. April 28, Iron Chef Elm City returns. This year’s “Challenge of the Champions” features three winners from the past five years. Gateway Community College, where I am on the faculty, and Visit New Haven, will turn up the heat once again at HADCO (formerly Delia), the Viking Center of New England, at 4 Laser Lane in Wallingford.

The event’s format is based on the Food Network’s “Iron Chef” program and features culinary experts as judges. I am delighted to produce the event at HADCO, where attendees walk around the kitchen and are in the middle of the action. I hope you can attend. Gateway hospitality and culinary students will be on hand assisting the competing chefs.

Chef Ben Gaffney of Atticus Bookstore-Cafe, the 2012 winner; Chef Arturo Franco-Camacho, owner of Tacuba, Waterhouse and Seawich Sandwich Shop in Branford, the first year’s winner; Chef Prasad Chirnomula, owner of Thali, Thali Too and Oaxaca Kitchen, 2011 winner, will square off.

The chefs are provided with a list of five possible “secret” ingredients a week before the event. At the competition, the “secret” ingredient will be unveiled, and the chefs will be required to create an appetizer, entree and dessert using the ingredient in one hour. Past year’s secret ingredients were Calabro Cheese, Lyman Orchards’ apples, Willoughby’s coffee, Hooker Beer and Deep River Snacks. A food pantry will be provided by Elm City Market for use by the chefs.
