About this event
Friends of Waterfront Park is producing the event, with all proceeds benefiting Waterfront Park to ensure our waterfront remains an asset that can be enjoyed by the community forever.
The event will take place on Sunday, October 23rd on the Festival Plaza at Waterfront Park from 1-5pm.
Competing restaurants and caterers will serve 2 oz. servings of their own unique take on the famous Kentucky Hot Brown dish. Attendees will receive a tasting card along with a voting slip to vote for their favorite dish.
Additionally, there will be a panel of judges composed of notable local personalities. Local 6-piece newgrass-fusion ensemble Hot Brown Smackdown will be performing at the event, in addition to serving as one of the judges. Hot Brown Smackdown has delighted concert and festival goers for years, combining brightly textured, hard-driving, powerful bluegrass polyphony with high-energy groove and soul.
There will be additional local food trucks onsite, as well as a full bar with beer, bourbon, and other spirits available for purchase.
A limited number of tickets are available for $30 per person in advance, and $40 at the door (if tickets are still available).
Children 10 and under are free.
