What Richmond event features a bug chef cook-off, molecular gastronomy, to-die-for dish awards, kids cooking demos, cooking for your dog, and a whodunnit art exhibition? Of course, the answer is Broad Appetit, the unique taste of Richmond’s best, is scheduled for Sunday, June 6, 2010.
Food and Fun on Broad Street June 6 2010
A local food festival, Broad Appetit promotes the amazing food, art, and music that call Richmond home, and is hosted by the Downtown Neighborhood Association, benefitting the Central Virginia Food Bank and Meals on Wheels. The event closes the 100-200 and 300 blocks of West Broad Street, where 50+ of Richmond’s local restaurants offer tastes of their signature dishes for just $3 a sample (admission, however, is free!)
Last year, guests at our urban inn, took in the First Friday Art Walk and finished off their weekend with Broad Appetit! Broad Appetit is only three years young; it began in 2008 with a crowd of 7,500 folks. The 2009 crowd swelled to 18,000 food lovers. Expectations for 2010 are that the crowd may exceed 25,000. There is no better way to sample signature dishes from Richmond’s restaurants – all in one place – and some of the region’s best fresh produce, cheese, herbs, breads and confections.
