Taste of Blount

A delightful event for food enthusiasts—sample the best of Blount County’s culinary scene.

New for 2024 are a Premier Experience and a special appearance by celebrity guest chef Christian Gill. Gill, who will be a judge and emcee at the event, is no stranger to Southern cooking or food competitions. Inspired by the drop biscuits his grandma taught him to make as a child, he opened Boomtown Biscuits and Whiskey in Cincinnati, Ohio. Over the past few years, Chef Christian has parlayed his success in the restaurant business into becoming one of the fiercest competitors on Food Network. He’s beaten Bobby Flay, taken top prize on Guy’s Grocery Summer Games and been crowned champion on Giada’s Ultimate Thanksgiving Challenge.

The Premier Experience includes a meet and greet with chef Christian Gill, reserved seating area, two (2) complimentary adult beverages and tray service for $75 (Limited to 100 guests).

Ticket holders can try savory favorites from local restaurants, caterers and gourmet grocers in addition to voting for their favorite appetizer, main course, sandwich, dessert, beverage, presentation and overall winner.

Culinary judges will present the “Culinary Excellence Awards” based on one item from each Taste of Blount vendor.
