Bay Street Biergarten to Host Culinary Fight Club Competition on March 26th
The national Food Sport series, Culinary Fight Club (CFC), today announced the first event of their Season IX competition will be held in Charleston at Bay Street Biergarten. The downtown venue will host the event on Saturday March 26th from 3 pm to 7 pm.
South Carolina chefs like Micah Pearson (Mefli’s), Joshua Quigley (Bay Street Biergarten), Shakur Freeney (Burnt Church Distillery), and Justin Woods (Savory Delights Catering), among others, will come together to show off their culinary skills in a “Sip and Bite” battle using Heaven Hill Spirits and US Foods Products to create the “Perfect Pair Up.”
Ticket holders will enjoy demos by Bull Outdoor Products and sampling from Heaven Hill Brands, meet the competing local chefs, sample creative dishes, and vote on their favorite bites. Three expert judges – Mark Nureddine (Owner of Bull Outdoor Products), Greg Guillen (Yacht Chef), and Jack Waiboer (Proprietor of Carolina Pit Masters) – will qualify the first two Culinary Fight Club Season IX champions to advance to the Championship Culinary Fight Fest in Chicago. Culinary Fight Club continues to support its charity of choice – Fight2Feed, a nonprofit that aims to feed the hungry and reduce food waste.
“The world took a hard hit during the pandemic, and we could not be more thrilled to bring Food Sport back to shine some much-needed light on our communities,” said Culinary Fight Club founder and CEO, Jiwon McCartney. “We are so ready to get on the road to meet more local chefs who can battle it out and create delicious dishes in a competitive environment.”
