2ND ANNUAL MAC-N-CHEESE OFF
Thanks to the creativity and hard work of our staff we created the tastiest 2017 event in the upstate. And we’re bringing it back for another year. Last year was super tasty and also a little bit chaotic (what can we say, free mac-n-cheese causes a riot). We’ve expanded to 15k sq. ft. which means twice as much space for big crowds. We’ve also got a year under our belt now with experience from several big events, which means we’re getting better at shorter lines and happier customers. So make some room in those stretchy pants and save the date for the 2nd Annual Mac-n-Cheese Off!
THE CHEESY DETAILS
All foodies are encouraged to compete. There will be multiple categories in the contest, including people’s choice and judge’s choice. Prizes will be awarded to the winners in each category (just think of those bragging rights in the craft beer community!). The public is invited and encouraged to come sample and help judge the entries. There is a $2 suggested donation, with all proceeds going to support community non-profits.
Registration is free, and must be completed by Saturday, Feb. 17th. Registration is only necessary for those planning to *cook* a dish to be judged. Those interested in tasting don’t need to sign up!
