Copper & Kings [4] will host the 3rd Annual Butchertown Porktoberfest [5] on Friday, October 9, from 5 p.m. – 10 p.m. Admission is $2 and covers your first taste. So come out and try tons of delicious, local pork cooked and prepared to perfection. Don’t worry, vegetarian options will also be available — there’s even an award for the best one! Did I mention desserts will be sampled, too? Because they most definitely will be!
Royals Hot Chicken [6], Red Hog Tapas [7] and Commonwealth Cure [8] will give us a preview of their soon-to-open restaurant’s deliciousness. Louisville favorites, The Feast [9], Gralehaus [10], Rye [11], Galaxie [12], Toonerville Deli [13] and Wiltshire [14] will remind us why they’re just that—favorites. That's a ridiculous lineup of ridiculously tasty eats, both savory and sweet.
The evening wouldn’t be complete without something to wash down all that food with. Copper & Kings will mix cocktails, while Apocalypse Brew Works [15] pours the brew. And with sight, touch and taste all covered by the eats, and to make sure no sensory organ’s left out, Relic’s [16] bluegrass twang will tingle our ears.
The 2015 award categories are the same as 2014’s. Tasters vote for People’s Choice, Best Vegetarian, Most Creative and Best Dessert. A panel of judges selects Best Overall Pork. Winners can expect to receive a unique Porktoberfest trophy to show off in their restaurant. All proceeds from food and beverage tickets will benefit the Butchertown Neighborhood Association Inc. [17]
