Savor Pittsburgh is happening in just two weeks down at the SouthSide
works. This is year seven for the annual event where restaurants all
converge on Southside for various competitions throughout the weekend.
You can attend the competitions and events with proceeds going to
Magee-Womens Research Institute and Foundation.
Join us Thursday and Friday, September 6 and 7, 2012 for
the seventh annual Savor Pittsburgh: A Celebration of Cuisine. This
scrumptious culinary competition has decided to spice things up and add a
2nd day to the most exciting event in Pittsburgh. Presented by
McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant and SouthSide Works,
Savor Pittsburgh will benefit the fight against prematurity at
Magee-Womens Research Institute & Foundation.
This 2-day event will fill the SouthSide Works with aromas of appealing appetizers, enticing entrees, delightful desserts and copious cocktails. Savor Pittsburgh takes over the heart of Pittsburgh’s trendiest shopping and dining district; SouthSide Works. A sprawling outdoor “urbanesque†landscape is created under elegant white canopies, bringing the best of the indoors to the outdoors for two nights of dinner, cocktails and dancing.
Thursday, September 6th "The Culinary Competition"
A collection of Pittsburgh's finest chefs will share their favorite recipes in an all-out competition for coveted “Dish of the Year†honors. The event blends a scrumptious menu, cocktails, music, dancing, and a silent auction into an elegant fundraiser.
Last year more than 1,000 guests sampled 35 different dishes and danced the night away under the stars to the sounds of No Bad Ju Ju. This year we have even more participating restaurants and are expanding to 1,500 guests. Tickets to the event are only $65 per person and 100% of the proceeds benefit the fight against prematurity at Magee-Womens Research Institute & Foundation. A panel of celebrity and culinary judges will taste and critique each dish and award prizes for the best in several categories including Dish of the Year.â€
Friday, September 7th "THE Great Happy Hour Competition"
New to the mix is THE Great Happy Hour Food and Mixology competition highlighting your favorite restaurants and bartenders battling for top Happy Hour honors. Casual restaurants and bars will be the focus of this competition which will allow us to encompass ALL Pittsburgh food and cocktails. We are putting our own spin to the competition, featuring DJ Nugget on an elevated DJ Booth and Bar bringing together mixes of music and cocktails!
Vote for your favorite Happy Hour foods like sliders, wings, dips and many others while tasting unique cocktail concoctions from the most creative bartenders in the burgh!
