Jessie’s Restaurant & Catering has made history by winning the Best Dish award at the 8th Annual Valdosta Food & Wine Classic for the third consecutive year. This exciting event took place on April 24 at the Turner Center Art Park, showcasing the culinary talents of ten local vendors.

This year, the event raised over $10,000 to support educational programs at the Turner Center. Such contributions highlight the community’s commitment to both culinary excellence and fostering local education.
The Food & Wine Classic, organized by the Center for the Arts Guild (CAG), emphasizes the importance of local partnerships. Generous sponsorship from various local businesses made the event possible, demonstrating how community support plays a vital role in its success.
Interestingly, a survey conducted by the National Restaurant Association revealed that 75% of diners say they seek out restaurants that use locally sourced ingredients. This trend aligns well with the ethos of local culinary events like the Food & Wine Classic, where the focus is not just on taste but also on sustainability and community engagement.
For those interested in supporting local arts and education, the Turner Center offers a range of programs and events. To learn more, visit turnercenter.org.
