Friends of Waterfront Park, FOWP, a nonprofit auxiliary arm of Waterfront Park, is pleased to announce the debut of a new fundraising event, Hot Brown Showdown. This cook-off and tasting event invites restaurants and caterers from around the Bluegrass to compete for the title of the best Hot Brown! The event will take place on Sunday, October 23rd on the Festival Plaza at Waterfront Park from 1-5pm with live music from Hot Brown Smackdown!
Competing restaurants and caterers will serve 2 oz. servings of their own unique take on the famous Kentucky Hot Brown dish. Attendees will be able to vote for their favorite dish. Additionally, there will be a panel of judges composed of notable local personalities. One of the judges will be the local 6-piece newgrass-fusion ensemble, Hot Brown Smackdown. 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.
