About
Local chefs and restaurants have been gearing up for the annual Taste of the NFL fundraiser for months, and they’re finally ready to get the party started. Join other guests on Super Bowl Eve for a night of signature dishes, hob-knobbing with culinary and football dignitaries and Miss America, and live music (they haven't divulged who's playing yet, but past acts have included such names as Bare Naked Ladies. Styx, and Brooks and Dunn). Proceeds will benefit local food banks.
From the Sponsor:
The Taste of the NFL will be an unforgettable evening before the Super Bowl with professional football’s biggest playsers, an elaborate celebratory cake by TLC’s the “Cake Boss,” and the nation’s finest chefs preparing more than 60,000 gourmet samples for guests at the Fort Worth Convention Center. It’s all in the name of ending hunger. One particular dish — Short Rib Pierogi, created by renowned Manhattan-area chef Stephen Lewandowski — features tender beef marinated in red wine, herbs, and garlic with roasted mushrooms. Some of North Texas’ best chefs will be serving up delicious dishes, thanks to Cadillac.
