COMPETITION
Can’t decide if you want that chunk of Manchego with a hearty Cabernet or a mug of pale ale? For $30 you can help answer this question and others on August 25th and 26th with the help of Scardello Artisan Cheese at their Beer vs. Wine SMACKDOWN!
The high-end cheese store, whose products range from designer dairy to complimentary smallbites, describe themselves as “Cheese Enthusiasts.” Constantly aiming to share this passion with their customers, Scardello offers up samples of any product in their case. Just ask. And with around 150 different varieties to taste, including both American and European farmstead cheese, you might want to clear your schedule for the afternoon. Additionally, Scardello is currently offering 21 of the recently named “Best Cheeses in the Country” at their store, including four local Texas varieties.
On February 19th and 20th, the "buzz"-worthy Coffee and Tea Festival is steaming up Manhattan!
Demonstrations, tastings and contests abound at this action-packed event where attendees can witness the art of making the creamiests lattè and espressos from industry professionals and pioneers, and learn the origins of exotic teas and coffees from around the world.
Competition brews as some of the top baristas and cafès go cup-to-cup and a panel of judges taste and critique.

The Sixth Annual Coffee and Tea Festival. February 19th and 20th, 11am-5pm, Tickets starting at $20. 7 W. 34th Street. New York, NY.
The time has come to un-box those classic Adidas shelltoes, throw on that vintage Run DMC t-shirt, and join with all the other b-boy and b-girl culture freaks for this year’s Red Bull BC One break dancing competition. The tournament, which has been hosted internationally in Brazil, South Africa, and cities across Europe, will be returning to New York City, the birthplace of hip-hop, at the Hammerstein Ballroom on November 18.
Well it’s about time. Finally, someone is having a Jell-O throw down! The Gowanus Studio Space in Brooklyn is trying to bring back the coolness of Jell-O by hosting their own Jell-O-Mold Competition on June 20th. The competition will bring some of the most creative Jell-O molds since the 70’s.
A panel of judges will be determining the winner based upon the criteria of creativity, aesthetics, structural ingenuity, edibility/culinary appeal, and of course, the best use of Jell-O. The grand prize for the competition is $500 and a singed Tara McPherson (really great artist if you don’t know) poster. All entry forms must be submitted by June 12th, $15 registration fee ($10 for students), but molds do not have to be created at that time. Think you can take the jiggle and make something of it?
