International Food without the Airline Ticket

Real Authentic International Food Tasting, right from grandma's receipe. That is what is happening on Mon. Aug 25 on Kelleys Island.

Every year, Kelleys Island has a group of International students working on the island in almost every business, they come on a J-1 working Visa and can stay 4 months as a cultural exchange.

The Welcome Center on Kelleys Island is bumping it up a notch and asking the foreign students for their home-style recipes. The local restaurants are sponsoring the students by providing a kitchen and the food and assistance they need to prepare. It is a way to have a real cultural exhange, after all, food is everything. The event will be judged and they will auction off the rights to the recipe to the local restaurants.

There will be only 100 tickets sold. Tickets will go on sale Aug 15, you can contact the Weclome Center at boogannex@gmail.com (entitle: Food Fest) if you want to get on the email list for tickets when they come available.
Bon Apetit!
