The 7th Annual Food and Wine Celebration is being held at the Culinary Vegetable Institute in beautiful Milan, OH to benefit Veggie U, a not-for-profit organization that is working to raise awareness of healthy eating with fourth-graders across the country. The event is taking place July 18 4-9 p.m. and attendees will get to experience dishes from over 40 nationally renowned chefs as well as wines from vineyards across the country.
In addition to the numerous chefs on hand, there will be a special “Star Chef” competition between a few chefs you’ve seen on television: Chef Paula DeSilva, Lee Ann Wong, and Chef James Briscione. Judging the competition will be Cleveland’s own Michael Ruhlman, Alex Guarnaschelli, Bruce Seidel and Fred Griffith.
And now you have a chance to go for free. I’m giving away a pair of tickets (a $300 value), at random, to one person that comments on this post by Friday July 10 at 5 p.m. Just leave a comment letting me know you’re interested and you’re in the drawing. Please be sure you can go to the event, this is far too good of a prize to waste.
If you like more information about purchasing tickets for the event, please call 419-499-7500.

I tried to win a similar prize at Heidi Robb’s site, but no luck. This would be an awesome way for the hub and I to celebrate our 9th anniversary!

I saw an ad for this in the Plain Dealer last week and was really interested… until I saw the price. Not in the budget this year, but if I can get free tickets from a fabulous blogger, why not?

I have been wanting to go to this event ever since I first heard of it several years ago. But unfortunately the cost of admission has been a problem. I have a prince’s palate, but a pauper’s budget.

I have nothing but good about Veggie U and the events they host. The culinary eduction and experience is pleasing to all that attend. I’m very curious since I drive past it every day on my way to work… Hanch

In the night the cabbages catch the moon, the leaves drip silver, the rows of cabbages are a series of little silver waterfalls in the moon. – Carl Sandburg
We would be overjoyed to witness the beauty of the Chef’s Garden by moonlight at the food & wine festival!
