Another new addition to this year’s event is the tasting of the winning dish from the Ardmore Kitchen Challenge, the first-ever home cooks contest by LMTV’s Living Well with Pat Nogar.
Participating restaurants include Ardmore Station Cafe, Barbacoa, Besito, Firinji, Fuel, Iron Hill, Jack McShea’s, Jason’s Toridasu, John Henry’s Pub, Jules Thin Crust, Local Wine and Kitchen, MAIDO, McCloskey’s Tavern, PokeOno, SNAP Custom Pizza, The Beer Shoppe, The Tasting Room, Tired Hands and Viking Pastries.
