10th Annual Fairmount Fling introduces a Food Fight
This year's Fairmount Fling adds an element of competition.
10th Annual Fairmount Fling introduces a Food Fight
So, asyou've probably noticed, foodie festivals with lots of food and drink samples tend to come with fairly hefty price tags. Of course, they're usually charity events and you never know when you might see something like Scott Schroeder in a buttondown, so we always endorse coughing up the cash if you can—but for a fun night of sampling at a more manageable cost, the Fairmount Fling on Nov. 15 is a great bet.
Just $40 gets you in from 7 to 10 p.m.to enjoy samples from tons of great Fairmount spots, like Lemon Hill, La Calaca Feliz, Bridgid's, Rembrandt's, Kie & Key, Zorba's, and many more. And of course, there's plenty of beer and wine included in the price. All the proceeds go to community projects in the Fairmount neighborhood, like playgrounds, parks, and local arts initiatives.
If you want to pony up a little more, a $75 VIP entry fee gets you into the Fairmount Food Fight, where 8 of the participating restaurants will serve special tasting plates with pairings. Everyone with VIP tickets gets to sample these plates from 6 to 7:30 p.m. and vote on a winner. But while you won't get a vote if you're not a Food Fight ticket holder, all of those restaurants will serve samples to the general admission crowd from 7:30 on, as well.
