Well, quite a bit has developed since we last reported on the Enjoy Arts & Tastes Food Festival set to take place throughout Downtown St. Pete, November 15-17.
When we first reported on the festival, it was named E.A.T. St. Pete with the E.A.T. standing for the Enjoy Arts & Tastes that's now still in festivals name. Organizers ran into trouble with the original E.A.T. St. Pete due to a possible trademark conflict with a similarly-named social media page for the Food Nation Radio Network.
Now, Enjoy Arts & Tastes has hit the ground running recently unveiling its lineup of celebrity hosts including chefs, authors and more scheduled to appear at the three-day festival. These include Duff Goldman of Ace of Cakes and Food Network fame; celebrity chef and restauranteur Todd English; Donatella Arpaia and many more scheduled to host special events throughout the festival's three-day run.
The Enjoy Arts & Tastes Food Festival is structured in a way where a variety of separately-ticketed events are hosted throughout town. Duff Goldman, for instance, will host an event called Nocturnal Cravings at the Dali Museum on November 15. A variety of chefs including Scott Conant, Masharu Morimoto, and Donatella Arpaia will host culinary demonstrations in addition to panel discussions, hosted dinners, and a Grand Tasting taking place on Saturday, November 16 at the Mahaffey.
Tick prices for Enjoy Arts & Tastes events range in price from $50 (for most culinary demonstrations) to $200 and up for events like a Sense Immersion Dinner hosted by Todd English and Duncan Mcclellan.
Enjoy Arts & Tastes is presented by the Home Shopping Network (or, HSN), Bill Edwards Presents, and Visit St. Petersburg Clearwater.
