The MAC is back! Tri-State Food Bank will again be hosting its Mac & Cheese Festival on Saturday, November 3, 2018, from 4–7pm CST at Tri-State Food Bank , located at 801 E. Michigan Street.
Last year’s Mac & Cheese Festival raised over $16,500 to aid Tri-State area food insecure residents by showcasing both amateur and professional chefs in a head to head competition for the best Mac & Cheese recipe in the Tri-State area. “We are thrilled to host our second annual Mac & cheese Festival to benefit Tri-State Food Bank. Last year’s event was a huge hit, and people were amazed at the creativity of the chefs in serving up their version of America’s favorite comfort food. The Mac & Cheese committee is excited as they plan to make this year’s festival bigger and more delicious than ever!†stated Glenn Roberts, Executive Director, Tri-State Food Bank.
This year’s Mac & Cheese Festival will feature 3 delicious competitive categories: Traditional, Exotic and Dessert.  Along with the competition, there will be celebrity judges, special awards, live entertainment, a silent auction and a cash bar. Tickets are on sale now for an “Early Bird†price of $35 per ticket or 2 for $65 at www.tristatefoodbank.org .
