Food festival season is upon us as Cows ’n Cabs, the most gluttonous and unapologetically country walkaround event, is set to take to the green pastures off Park Avenue in Winter Park this November. And for the chef- and Top Chef-obsessed, a couple of high-profile culinarians will appear at the festival’s opening night event, a separate deal dubbed “Tacos & Tequila” (no relation to the Orlando Weekly-sponsored event of the same name) on Thursday, Nov. 13.
Bryan and Michael Voltaggio, the celeb chef-bros who impressed Padma and Tom on Season 6 of the popular television show, will host the exclusive Thursday-night event. Limited to 250 guests, the night will feature a taco showdown among participating restaurants as well as unlimited tequila and cocktail tastings.
Then on Saturday, Nov. 15, some of Central Florida’s finest (and finest-adjacent) restaurants will set up on the sprawling grounds of Central Park’s West Lawn to indulge and satiate the gingham-shirted, multigallon-hatted masses laying down a handsome sum to attend the 13th annual Cows ’n Cabs celebration.
Tastings prepared by the likes of Kaya, Ômo by Jônt, Norman’s, Corner Chophouse, The Chapman and Superica will, much like the changing of the Cracker Barrel logo, whip the masses into a frenzy. A whole lotta booze, beer and wine (not cabs only) will be poured courtesy of ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, while country music artist Randy Houser will have tipsy line dancers boot-scootin’ to his music.
The event, founded in 2012 by Tina and David Larue, executive vice president of ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, and John Rivers, founder and CEO of 4R Restaurant Group, has raised more than $3.1 million for local organizations supporting children in Central Florida.
VIP entry for Cows ’n Cabs begins at 6 p.m., with general admission running from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tickets can be purchased here for General Admission, VIP and Ultimate VIP options.
