THE FIGHT IS ON! Thursday, May 25th at Spanish Plaza
Yeah You Right Events first-ever Food Fight at Crescent Park was a huge success. 2,500 foodies and fans celebrated New Orleans food, cocktails, and culture on the banks of the Mississippi River. Chefs and mixologists competed in five categories: Top Creative Dish, Top Traditional Dish, Top Vegetarian Dish, Top Classic Cocktail, and Top Creative Cocktail.
This year’s Food Fight moves to the newly-renovated Spanish Plaza where 30 restaurants will compete for the coveted NOLA Boards awards and Food Fighters will determine the winners. Food Fight is an all-inclusive, upscale, 21+ event with live local music, creative lounge areas, an entire tent dedicated to local distillery tastings, and some of the best chefs and mixologists in the city.
Food Fight is strictly limited to 850 VIP tickets and 2,500 Total so don’t wait to purchase your tickets because this event will definitely sell-out.
