CINCINNATI, OH--(Marketwire - May 21, 2009) - The nation's longest running culinary arts
festival is turning up the heat in the kitchen with something new this
Memorial Day weekend. The first-ever P&G Taste of Cincinnati USA Server
Olympics will pit local restaurants against one another in a one-of-a-kind
competition.
The P&G Server Olympics will be held on Fountain Square, in downtown
Cincinnati, on Thursday, May 21 from Noon to 1 p.m. Five teams from local
restaurants will complete an obstacle course consisting of three legs:
Prep, Set and Clear. Judging will be based on time to complete the course,
spillage and points for cleared food hitting a target. The prize package
includes a trophy, prize money and local bragging rights.
Taste of Cincinnati USA began in 1979 as a one-day festival. Now,
approximately 500,000 attend the annual food extravaganza, making it one of
the nation's largest street festivals.
It features more than 40 fine restaurants serving up delicious menu items.
In the weeks leading up to Taste of Cincinnati USA each year, menu items
are previewed and judged for the prestigious "Best of Taste Awards."
Taste of Cincinnati USA is also a music festival, with continuous live
entertainment featuring more than 60 local and national recording stars
performing on multiple stages throughout the event.
