Please join us for our SEVENTH Annual Vegan Mac and Cheese Cook Off on Sunday, March 19 from 4pm to 7pm!! This event benefits Piedmont Farm Animal Refuge and Triangle Vegfest. A few new things for this year: We are back in Carrboro this year at the Carrboro Century Center. We will be indoors and will pay attention to any issues with the pandemic that could impact the event. Join us for some great food and to raise money for two local nonprofits! Similar to previous events: Admission will be $20 ahead of the event and $30 the day of. We encourage you to purchase your tickets ahead of time so we can gauge how much everyone needs to cook. WE will limit the attendance to 300 people so there might not be tickets available the day of. If you arrive late for your session, we cannot guarantee there will be food left so make sure to arrive on time. You can choose one of three times: 4p-7p – you want to hang with us for the whole event. 4p-5:30p – join us for the first half 5:30p-7p – join us for the second half and learn who wins The sessions are to help with capacity at the venue and ensure everyone has a seat. We will have vendors at the event selling desserts and other savory food options and donating back from their sales to The Refuge and TVF. The chefs will be professionals! Let’s see who makes the best and if the previous years winners take home the prizes again! We will have a few amateur chefs as well competing . The DJ will be the same DJ from other TVF events. We will have guest judges! This year you’ll get a ballot and can circle your favorite and hand it in to cast your vote! One ballot per person given upon entering the event. $20/person (ahead) $30/person (door, if tickets available) $10 for kids 6-12 Free for the young ones 5 and under.
