Taste of St. Louis recently announced that Food Network chefs Tyler Florence of Food Court Wars and The Great Food Truck Race and Duff Goldman of Aces of Cakes fame, will make appearances at its 10th annual festival, as reported by Alive Magazine. Both chefs will participate in 45-minute showcases, including interactive cooking demos, at the Chesterfield Amphitheater during the three-day festival.
These events, along with the Grand Tasting on Sunday, Sept. 21, are new, ticketed additions to Taste of St. Louis, which announced its relocation from downtown St. Louis to Chesterfield in March. K Sonderegger, Taste co-director and marketing director, said the new space allowed for bigger events like this to take place. “We wanted to do something really big and go really food-centric,” she said. “Bringing that kind of talent is so expensive, so we wanted to make sure we had a place where everyone could actually enjoy seeing it.”
Florence will be in town Friday, Sept. 19, and Goldman hits the stage Saturday, Sept. 20. In addition to the chef showcases, tickets to the Chesterfield Amphitheater events will also include local culinary talent demos, live music acts and fireworks. Sonderegger also noted that there are still many free events to enjoy, including Sauce Magazine’s Restaurant Row, the Chef Battle Royale Culinary Competition, children’s activities, a wine walk and more.
