Mac ‘n Cheese lovers in Toronto are about to get all ooey and gooey inside! The first of its kind in Toronto, the three day Mac ‘n Cheese Festival provides a gourmet twist to everyone’s favourite classic childhood dish, while giving back to the community through FoodShare Toronto, a renown non-profit organization that delivers healthy food to our schools and low income communities.
The free Festival will take over Liberty Market, 171 East Liberty Street, from June 5 – 7, 2015. Mac ‘n Cheese enthusiasts will purchase tokens to be used as currency for both food and beverages. Funds raised and any unused tokens as well as a portion of water and non-alcoholic beverage sales will be donated to FoodShare Toronto.
The Festival will reveal the best gourmet Mac ‘n Cheese dish through the culinary genius of 25 talented chefs, cooks and food entrepreneurs competing for “Best of Fest”, “Most Unique” and the ultimate prize, “People’s Choice”. The team with the most votes will be rewarded the People’s Choice award along with a $5,000 cash prize.
The Festival brings together some of the best culinary talents Toronto has to offer, as well as a line-up of open mic performances featuring live bands, DJs and street performers. Sit back, eat, drink and be lazy in the festival’s Lazy Lounge and Beer Garden.
Rumors of upcoming Mac ‘n Cheese dishes include: truffle braised duck, smoked beef cheek with a guava BBQ sauce, fried macaroni crusted wings with beer and cheese sauce, bacon and pulled pork, kimchi collards fried chicken with Monforte cheese, lobster and many more, all paired with beer, wine and spirits!
