Taste Addison is beautiful way to spend a fantastic Spring weekend, dining on tasty bite from local restaurants and listening to cool bands. This year will be bigger and better than ever with bands such as blue October, The O’s and the Turnpike Troubadours.
This year’s Taste Addison offers plenty of family friendly events including arts and crafts, a kids carnival and as always, Bonkers the Clown. For the big kids we can enjoy a wings eating contest courtesy of Buffalo Wild Wings, wine seminars and a fair bartending exhibition performed by the folks at Sherlock’s.
Then there is the food. The Taste Showcase offers demonstrations by both Tre Wilcox and Kent Rathbun, which always proves fun and exciting for the culinary enthusiasts. And don’t forget the seemingly hundreds of food booths offering everything from a pork chop on a stick prepared by chef Richard Chamberlain to exciting Thai offerings from several family restaurants in Addison.
We plan on giving away many Taste Packages which will include four entry tickets, plus a gift card from a local restaurant. The cards will be selected very randomly and could include one of the following: $25 from Flying Saucer, $20 Best Thai, dinner for two at Texas de Brazil, $50 at Chamberlain’s Fish House, or Brunch for Two at Blue Mesa.
Each day leading up to the big event, which is May 17-19, 2013, we will post something about an event or a dish you need to sample at Taste Addison. Make a comment below the story and we will select a winner from that pool each day. We will have a last chance winner that will be selected from one of all the posts. The prizes will be overnighted to your doorstep just in time for the big weekend. All winners are selected at random, but we do appreciate good groveling.
Make a comment below to qualify for today’s contest, and we will see you all at the 2013 Taste Addison.
