Cape Fear Coast
Spring events will showcase restaurants and chefs along North Carolina’s Cape Fear Coast.
Following the success of the inaugural Wilmington Restaurant Week last fall, another is planned for April 28 through May 5, 2010. The 30 restaurants participating in the spring event range from favorite lunch spots to fine dining establishments in Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach.
On May 16, 2010, there’s the third annual Taste of Wilmington Food & Wine Festival, where three finalists (voted in by local diners) will prepare signature dishes as they compete for the coveted title of “Wilmington’s Top Chef.” Attendees will sample and vote on the chefs’ culinary creations, as well as choose their favorite local wines, soups, and desserts.
And, a culinary tour will be added to the mix starting Memorial Day weekend. That’s when food writer/chef Liz Biro will begin her Culinary Adventures: tours of downtown Wilmington’s food history and delicious dining destinations.
