The 7th Annual Wein & Saengerfest will be held all day in historic downtown New Braunfels on Saturday, May 1, 2010. Along with wine and beer tasting, our event offers a host of entertainment and activities that include continuous live music, a grape stomp, art market, food seminars, Chef’s Showdown, activities for the kids, and a farmers market - culminating with a street dance at Main Plaza!
5-7 pm Chef Showdown
Join local radio personality Dave Ferguson and renown chef Carol Hill as they provide color and commentary during this exciting event! Eight amateur chefs are challenged to create an on-the-spot dish using secret ingredients revealed only moments before they vie for bragging rights. Celebrity Judges Mayor R. Bruce Boyer, Tanji Patton (host of “Good Taste with Tanji”), and Elizabeth Kossick (of the Culinary Institute of America) will rate the contestants on not just their brilliant creations, but their style and performance under pressure!
