2017 Comfort Food Classic to Feature International Cuisine for a Good Cause

It’s time for the 11th Annual Comfort Food Classic, to be held on Sunday, October 1, from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. at the Hotel RL Omaha (formerly the Ramada Convention Center), located at 72nd and Grover.  This year the much-loved food competition will feature “delicious creations from far away nations” as some of the yummiest cuisine in Omaha is offered up by local restaurants representing various countries around the globe.  Join the fun as you sample the tasty fare and vote for the winner.  Who will win the coveted Comfort Food Classic traveling trophy and the bragging rights for the ensuing year?  That’s up to you! Your $90 ticket also includes complimentary wine and beer, appetizers, side dishes, desserts, and a vast array of interesting silent auction items.  Attire is business casual, and the atmosphere promises to be festive as local comedian Kris Covi entertains with his off-the-wall humor. Proceeds from this event benefit Grief’s Journey (formerly Ted E. Bear Hollow) which provides free grief support to the metro for kids and adults from 3 to 103.
