Milwaukee Meatball Challenge
The Milwaukee County Historical Society is closing its year-long exhibition, FAITH FAMILY FESTA: Milwaukee’s Italians with culinary excellence as the Historical Society hosts Milwaukee’s first ever Meatball Challenge!
On Saturday, March 24th, Milwaukee’s restaurants, caterers, and private culinary experts are invited to compete against one another with their signature meatball recipes to see who will take home the honors of having Milwaukee’s best meatball! From Noon to 4:00, the public will be invited to taste each unique meatball recipe, while enjoying FAITH FAMILY FESTA one last time. Using specific culinary criteria, a panel of judges will choose the grand prize winner, who will receive two, round trip tickets to Rome! Prizes for second and third place will also be awarded, and Milwaukee’s public will get their say, by casting votes to decide a winner in the People’s Choice category.
All sponsorship and event proceeds go to the Historical Society’s programs and exhibits, enriching people’s lives through the power of history!
