Washington Park becomes one big kitchen for the
Cincinnati Food + Wine Classic throughout the weekend of Sept. 11-13, the event's second year of hosting the best food and beverage flavors in the Midwest. Locals can enjoy culinary demonstrations, chef competitions and wine, beer and spirit tastings right on the park's event lawn across from
Music Hall.
Not only will you be able to sample incredible food and drink, but CF+WC is partnering with
Findlay Market and
Freestore FoodBank to provide more than 14,000 meals to locals in need.
Cincinnati was recently called out as the
next big food city in the U.S. by Keith Pandolfi, a Cincinnati native and freelance writer for
Saveur magazine. Pandolfi — who served as a judge last year for CF+WC's Pork Chopped competition — shined a light on the restaurant scene in Cincinnati and the Midwest with good reason.
“This is the kind of thing we want to stand for,” says Courtney Tsitouris, CF+WC co-founder. “Never again and never before have you seen this particular collection of talent together. We've pulled people from the Midwest and all over the country.”
