Thursday:
5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m
ZestFest will be kicked off in Cowtown style this year with a Sept. 6 pre-party in the Stockyards. The first annual Chile Pepper Burger Bash will be held in front of the Cowtown Coliseum from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. and will feature live music, beer, and a burger cook-off between chefs Grady Spears of Dutch’s, nationwide barbecue expert Rick Browne, and Central Market’s Jeff Bekavac. The burgers they cook will be sampled to the crowd and judged by a panel of local businesspeople. The Burger Bash will also signify the end of the Fiery Food Challenge, a prestigious contest of spicy food and other products from Sept. 4-6. Burger Bash attendees will receive coupons for $2 off of the price of admission to ZestFest, which is Sept. 7-9. Attendance to the bash is free.
After the Burger Bash – it’ll be time to hit Booger Red’s, the bar attached to H3. (Pictures from last year can be seen here)
