Hotdish Revolution!

Hotdish Revolution!Sunday, April 26, 2009
4:00 – 8:00 pm
Grain Belt Bottling House Studios
77 13th Avenue NE
Minneapolis, MN 55413

The culinary pride of NE Minneapolis is back again this year with the Holland Neighborhood Improvement Association’s (HNIA) signature annual event, the Hotdish Revolution! If you think you make the best hotdish quit bragging and bring it on-the fifth annual clash of the NE kitchen titans is issuing a “neighborhood challenge,” encouraging neighborhood associations to organize their best chefs to take on the champs, the residents of Holland neighborhood.

Dishes will be entered into one of the following categories:

▪ “Spicy” (in quotes as to not exclude those who firmly believe salt and pepper are spicy)
▪ Vegetarian
▪ Tater tot excellence
▪ “I made it” – kids under 16
▪ Darn Good! (if your dish doesn’t fit in another category)
▪ People’s Choice

Each year’s event seems to outgrow the previous one, and the 5th Annual Hotdish Revolution! is expected to be no less different. Finding a large enough space in NE seemed to be daunting, but HNIA has settled at the old Grain Belt Bottling House, now studios, that can hold up to 500 people. Also new this year is the “Art Goulash,” a showcase of numerous local artists that will be exhibited in the space.

Doors open: 4pm for entries (only accepted until 4:30pm).
Judging (by “celebrity” judges): 4:30-5pm
Dining: 5:15pm

$15 for adults (dinner and beer included)
Only $5 if you enter a hotdish or jello
$5 kids (5-15)
Under age 5 are free

*All proceeds to benefit the Holland Neighborhood Improvement Association*
