In an effort to present our guests with the best food our city has to offer, this year’s Celebration in the Oaks Preview Party, held Friday, November 18th, will hold the second annual Culinary Competition among all participating restaurants.
Food donors will be asked to serve stand-out dishes, with guest judges tasting all dishes and voting on a variety of categories, such as best holiday dish, most original dish, best table display and most festive server uniforms. Last year’s competition was a huge success, and food vendors are getting excited to present delicious dishes again this year! Judges will arrive 30 minutes prior to the event start time (7pm) and taste small samples of each restaurant’s dish. Once all tastings have been completed, judges will vote on each category. Winners will be announced and presented with awards in the middle of the party.
