In conjunction with Whiskey Warehouse’s participation in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Brewer’s Ball charity event in September, a competitive eating contest will be held at the Plaza-Midwood bar/restaurant on Tuesday May 14 at 7pm. The contest will pit several local gluttons (including Whiskey Warehouse manager Al Giacomucci and former Charlotte Observer food writer Larken Egleston) against each other in an eight minute battle to consume as much of Whiskey’s signature Macaroni & Cheese as they can. Participating eaters will each make a contribution to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and spectators are welcome to make donations in the name of their favorite contestant in hopes of winning great prizes. All donations will go directly to the Foundation and its research to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. Everyone in attendance will have the opportunity to win great prizes as well as enjoy Big Boss beer and Mount Gay Rum & Cointreau cocktail specials before, during, and after the main event.
Kennedy's Premium Bar & Grill has revamped their menu to highlight fan favorites like their harp lager battered haddock, delivering a great crunchy exterior and tender, flaky interior along with new items such as their chicken parmesan which has a gooey mozzarella stick stuffed right inside. Kennedy's Shepard's pie isn't one to miss either. Chef Luis stews Angus beef for hours in a thick Guinness spiked gravy, producing fork tender meat.
