If you’re a foodie, you won’t want to miss this epic “non-gala” style event that encourages guests to “come as you are” after work to schmooze with some of Windsor’s best food and beverage establishments and enjoy creative cuisine, drinks, and networking under one roof!

What makes this event unique? It’s not just about eating, but also who can make the best hors d’oeuvres! While guests take in the aromatic atmosphere, good conversation and delectable hand held fare, participants will be battling it out for their chance to win two awards. The first award will have guests acting as food critics for the evening, allowing them to vote for their favourites to win the “People’s Choice Award”. While at the same time, a panel of expert judges will be debating the “Critic’s Choice Award” winners. The evening will also have guests bidding on silent auction items and entering a raffle all while enjoying live music.

Delicious food aside, what’s the best part about this event? All funds raised will support seven youth mentoring programs at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Windsor Essex, which currently provides services to over 800 children in our community. Last year’s event raised over $66,000!
