From 3:30-8:30 p.m. on Aug. 6, Northam Park will again become a site for delectable dining during the 22nd Taste of Upper Arlington, held by the Upper Arlington Area Chamber of Commerce.
Restaurants from throughout Upper Arlington participate, giving attendees the chance to sample a variety of flavors.
“It’s definitely a full array of cuisine,” says Dakota Russell, administrative coordinator for the chamber.
Restaurants attending include Jet’s Pizza, Skyward Grille, Hudson 29 Kitchen + Drink and Yabo’s Tacos, says Russell.
Last year, 125 businesses were at the event, and about 10,000 people attended.
This year’s big change is the way the food will be judged.
The celebrity judging process will likely be more open to the public than it has been in previous years, says Chamber Executive Director Brandon Oates.
“We’re actually going to display it prominently in the middle of the field,” he says.
Entrees, appetizers and desserts will be included in the judging process. Professional basketball player and former point guard for The Ohio State University Aaron Craft has already been selected as a judge. Other individuals the chamber hopes to secure to judge the event include Jeni Britton Bauer, founder of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, and Mike Davis, meteorologist for WBNS-10TV.
