Are You A Food Vendor?

BRING IT!

Food has always been an important part of life in the city, and not just in Cleveland. Other cities have their own versions. No city compares to Cleveland. The Mac 'n' Cheese Throwdown prides itself on the sense of community. It's another step in trying to build off a growing foodie and craft beer culture. More than that – Cleveland is an 18-hour-a-day city that loves to eat and drink for a great cause that they can see make a change in the community that they live, work, and play in. Proceeds from the tasting benefiting a local charity, Working Animals Giving Service for Kids – providing mobility service and autism spectrum service dogs exclusively to children with special needs throughout Northeast Ohio. Cleveland is blessed with a wide range of culinary excellence. As a fifth annual event, the only cost to compete is your pride. We would like to showcase the diverse options available in our community.

Thank you for your interest. The deadline for applications is February 7th
