A number of a chefs from our favorite local haunts are coming too, so this promises to be a food lovers dream. There will be beer and wine tastings and glasses for sale to pair with the food. This is a family event however, so let's stay classy. Ticket prices depend based on age and VIP status. They range from $15-$100.
