Coastal Uncorked 2010

Coastal Uncorked 2010

A little over four months ago, while battling biker traffic but looking at an empty restaurant, I came up with the idea for a food and wine festival in May. Several great people have joined with me and I am very excited to say that this May will be the first year for Coastal Uncorked!

Coastal Uncorked will be a weeklong celebration of Coastal Cuisine and wine. It will feature a restaurant week with participating restaurants offering a three course menu for only $20.10. This is a great way to try out restaurants that you have wanted to visit. CU will also feature an Iron Chef style chef competition, beer and wine tastings at area hotels, beach music and concerts at area attractions, a gourmet food and wine golf tournament, a cake decorating competition, and a charity Gala dinner to end the week.

The dates for 2010 are May 16-23rd. Mark your calendars and watch for more information soon. A poster contest will kick off in November, so you artists get your Coastal food and wine ideas ready and you could be the featured artist on the inaugural poster!

I encourage you all to buy local food, eat at local restaurants, and as always cook well, eat well, and live well!

Ciao,
Chef Kurt
