The Lumière Place and River City Casino Culinary Stage
Home to Celebrity Appearances, Chef Battle Royale, Pizza Games and more!
In addition to the Chef Battle Royale Competition and the Pizza Games, 2011's Grade A celebrity showcases were a huge hit, with showcases from Marc Bynum, Food Network's Chopped Champion and the Travel Channel's "Taste of America's" Mark DeCarlo.
Audiences were entertained and educated by the two celebrities all weekend long, and one lucky winner from Mark DeCarlo's cooking contest went home with an 8 day, 7 night all-inclusive trip to Hacienda Tres Ríos resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico!
Stay tuned for what we have in store for 2012!
