Red Stick Farmers Market will celebrate 15 years in downtown Baton Rouge Saturday with its first-ever “Tailgating Throwdown” cook-off competition. Individuals and teams will compete along the streets of downtown using local ingredients from the Red Stick Farmers Market. Celebrity judges Poppy Tooker, Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne and Jay Ducote will determine the Throwdown champion and the winner of the “best use of local ingredients” award. You can sample all the tailgating fare from 9 to 11 a.m. and vote for the people’s choice award by purchasing a $15 tasting bracelet. The tasting will take place along North and Fourth streets. Bloody Marys and mimosas will be available for purchase, and music will be provided free of charge by Mel Chavis, the John Gray Jazz Trio and the Fabulous Bagasse Boyz. More information can be found at the farmers’ market website here. Read this week’s complete 225 Dine newsletter here.
