A Taste of Rio Carnival
Steel drums, stilt walkers, Brazilian dancers, and the sounds of Salsa will be featured at Rio Carnival, the 18th Annual Gentlemen’s Gourmet presented by North County African American Women’s Association. The entertainment lineup includes DL Einstein, Rebecca Souza Dance Company, and DJ Island Boy. Dishes will be prepared by professional and amateur chefs for cash and prizes. Money raised from this signature fundraiser provides scholarships to young women in North San Diego County continuing their education at the college and university level.
Guests can sample food and dance the night away while taking advantage of a silent auction and door prizes. A panel of independent judges will reward the best entrée, appetizer, pasta, BBQ, soup, gumbo, or dessert. Guests get to choose their favorite dish by voting for the People’s Choice Award. Chef applications are still being accepted and vendors interested in representation can donate items for the silent auction.
