A foodie paradise! The Boone County Chamber of Commerce brings together a wide array of different eating establishments located throughout Boone County all in one building at The Boone County Fairgrounds. This is my first year attending and I enjoyed it very much. Tickets are sold for General Admission or VIP. When you enter then your ticket is scanned and you are given a bag and a tray to help balance your food. You also receive two tickets to vote when you are done sampling for whose sweet bite you enjoyed and which savory bite you enjoyed.
It's fun trying new spots for future reference as to where you'll want to dine again! I tried chicken bacon Mac and cheese which was delicious from Klooz Brewz and they got my savory vote. I gave my sweet vote to the banana foster which was atop banana pudding. I loved the Soinach Artichoke Dip from 1830 as well! The Cookie Butter cupcake from Boone County Bakery was not to be missed. Alcohol free cocktails from Social AF in a can were a generous treat.
There were so many spots to try new foods and unfortunately I can't remember all of them. You'll need to put this on your calendar for next year and see for yourself!
A pretty crowded venue that a few more walk up tables would have been helpful and maybe a couple extra convenient trash cans throughout the building also would have been nice. All in all I had a great experience and I'd go again next year!
Thank you to The Boone County Chamber of Commerce for hosting this event for the community and helping local businesses to grow to a new audience!! read more
