Tailgate Throwdown at Red Stick Farmers Market

It’s that time of year again—time for Baton Rouge’s tailgating greats to show what they can do and sign up to participate in the BREADA Red Stick Farmers Market’s annual Tailgating Throwdown challenge this Saturday. Competitors must use a minimum of two local ingredients from the Red Stick Farmers Market to create their dish, and can prepare a maximum of two different recipes to be judged in the competition, including one meat and one vegetarian. A panel of judges will select the winning dishes and present awards for Best Use of Local Ingredients and Best Overall Experience, among others. Teams will also serve their dishes to event attendees, who will select the People’s Choice Award. Come along to enjoy the tasty food, Bloody Marys and mimosas, as well as live music and a festive atmosphere. A kids’ zone will help keep young visitors entertained. All proceeds from the event support BREADA’s community outreach program. Visit the BREADA website here for all the details.
