PrintWin Tickets To 'Cook. Eat. Drink. Live.' This Weekend
Held this weekend at The Tunnel & La.Venue, Cook. Eat. Drink. Live. is your chance to sample some of the finest fare from the city and beyond. With old standards such as Sarabeth's and newcomers WannaHavaCookie, and with chefs from Joey Campanaro to Bill Telepan to Michael Symon, there's an incredible amount to taste. With the Astor Center coordinating the wine and spirits, there's just as much to drink. Plus cooking demos, mixology tips, and far more. A particular highlight this year? Tony May's Gruppo Ristoratori Italiani will bring together Italian bites such as speck from Alto Adige, the finest Asiago, and tastes from his newly opened SD26. And finally, there's plenty of opportunity to get a head start on holiday shopping.
Tickets are $65 each (available here), but we're giving away one pair right here on Serious Eats.
To enter to win, just answer the following question in the comments: What's on your holiday wish list this year? (Brownie points for a food connection.)
Winner will be chosen at random from among eligible commenters. Contest will end and comments will close at noon ET, Thursday, November 5, 2009. Winner will recieve one pair of tickets. All attendants must be 21 or over. One entry per community member. The standard Serious Eats contest rules apply.
