Back for another year and bigger than ever, locally organized food festival San Antonio Flavor will take place Thursday, May 15, at the San Antonio Museum of Art.
More than 30 San Antonio-area food and drink vendors are set to participate in the 10th anniversary iteration of the premier culinary event, offering guests a selection of bites and beverages all included in the admission price. The San Antonio Current is one of the organizers.
As with previous installments, this year’s Flavor also will feature the return of the fan-favorite culinary showdown, in which four participating chefs working with four local celebrities duke it out in front of a live audience for separate Judge’s Choice and Fan Favorite titles.
One of this year’s Flavor participants, Chef Jason Dady, plans to showcase his latest restaurant and bar project, Mexico Ceaty, set to open later this year.
“It’s always been one of my favorite events,” Dady said. “Being able to showcase Tre Trattoria at the San Antonio Museum of Art has always been something I’ve treasured. I really cannot wait to showcase our newest venture, Mexico Ceaty, for its first event and show our excitement for this new project.”
Other participants this year include Panfila Cantina, Elsewhere, Tu Asador, Full Goods Diner, The Jerk Shack, Cosmic Cakery, Ida Claire and many more. In addition to chef-prepared bites, diners will have access to craft beer, wine and other drinks and signature cocktails to sample.
In addition to the wide assortment of food and drink opportunities, the event will feature live music, DJs, local vendors with items for sale, and art installations courtesy of San Antonio Contemporary Art Month.
“It’s always amazing to see the community show up with such energy and appetite for Flavor,” chef Mary Lou Davis of Ida Claire San Antonio said. “Events like this remind us why we love what we do — sharing food, connecting with people and celebrating the creativity that makes this city so special.”
Beyond its culinary-minded event for a good cause, proceeds from the event go towards Culinaria. The local nonprofit organization is dedicated to supporting local food programs, culinary education and more.
“With summer travel, the heat and busy schedules, Restaurant Weeks is what everyone looks forward to participating in as both a restaurant and an attendee,” Culinaria CEO Suzanne Taranto-Etheredge said in a statement. “It’s an annual tradition and the perfect way to try out new restaurants, visit your favorites and to schedule time for dining out.”
Tickets are selling out fast, so advance purchases are highly recommended, according to organizers. In addition to $65 general-admission tickets, Flavor offers a $100 VIP package that includes early admission, a commemorative gift, a swag bag and a signature cocktail served during VIP hour.
$65-$100, 6-10 p.m. Thursday, May 15, San Antonio Museum of Art, 200 W. Jones Ave., sacurrentflavor.com.
