ZESTFEST SPICY FOOD FESTIVAL
The Irving Convention Center is Proud to Again
Host the ZestFest Spicy Food Festival
for the 13th Installment of What Has Become THE Food Event for Tens
of Thousands of Annual Attendees in Search of Great Taste Adventures.
(Irving, TX) – The ZestFest Spicy Food Festival
is back at the Irving Convention Center, outside
of Dallas, Texas. ZestFest
is the mecca for all things flavorful, spicy, hot, extreme, and just
plain “zesty delicious”. From sauces to
salsas, recipes to remedies, the whole ZestFest experience is built around
the idea that “if it makes food taste great, then it must be good”. The spicy experience is served up by the best
spicy food producers and manufacturers in the country along with a cadre of top
restaurateurs and celebrity chefs.
ZestFest produced by Spicy Food
Productions and presented by NBC and The Dallas Morning News, has steadily
grown from a niche gathering to a national event, as a result of the enthusiastic
and skilled leadership of ZestFest owner Greg Bagarozy. Bagarozy stated, “this show is a big hit because
each year our exhibitors surprise us with such great flavor and culinary
creativity.”
This year Mr. Bagarozy has invited Sarah Penrod, recently featured on the
Food Networks’ “Next Food Network Star”, to be a guest chef and special spokesperson
for ZestFest
2015. Sarah will bring her “Lone
Star Style” to the Celebrity Chef Stage
where she will feature some of this year’s Fiery
Food Challenge Winners in the food she prepares. This will be a first for the nineteen year
old Fiery Food Challenge. Having a nationally known chef like Sarah feature
some of the winners in the food she prepares live on stage will give a great
brand building opportunity to those products.
Besides Ms. Penrod, there will be plenty of
action on The Celebrity Chef Stage
through the weekend. Sarah will be
joined by some of the country’s top chefs conducting fully interactive cooking
demonstrations with plenty of tastings to share with the crowd. This year’s culinary stars include top chefs John Bonnell, Eduardo Alvarez, John Frank,
Enam Chowdhury showing off the skills that have made them renowned in their
field.
There will also be a special Saturday Night extra
session from 6pm – 8pm. “Dinner
at ZestFest” will treat attendees to a Pig and Rib Roast hosted by master
chef and BBQ King, Eddie Deen, that will treat attendees to a great diner and a
couple of beers for $15.
The 2015 ZestFest Weekend will start on
Friday, January 23th at 1pm and run thru Sunday, January 25th
(times available at www.zestfest.2015.com). Live
music and continuous demonstrations and exhibits throughout the weekend will
make it a great weekend for everyone. Back
for 2015, will be the very popular “Wingstop Atomic Wings Eating Contest”
and the Peoples Preference Awards. Tickets are currently on sale at the
aforementioned website and the Irving
Convention Center at Las Colinas box office. Price of admission covers all
exhibits, competitions, and entertainment with the exception of the Big Eddie
Dean BBQ on Saturday Night. For the
regular sessions, children under 10 are admitted free with a paid adult ticket.
Bring the family, come in from the cold,
and prepare to taste some of the hottest and most flavorful foods from around
the globe.
