Have you heard the news? ABC’s The Chew will be taping a few episodes live from the Festival, and two new booths will debut in Future World to celebrate the occasion! Coming to the Sustainable Chew Booth, we got to try the Pork Spareribs with Cheesy Mascarpone Grits (the grits were delicious!).

This was paired with the beautiful Frozen Chew-tini, a blend of Crop Organic Meyer Lemon Vodka, Carrot Mango Juice and Citrus Sour Mix. This one is incredible; definitely plan to add this to your list for the festival.

It was hard to bid goodbye to one of our favorite dishes from 2014, the Peppered Bacon Hash, but I am loving the brand new dish in its place — Loaded Mac ‘n Cheese with Nueske’s Pepper Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Peppers and Green Onions!
