Highway 61 won the Golden Spoon award for their ribs and deconstructed cheesecake (pictured).
The Food for Thought tasting event returned to the Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College last week after a Covid hiatus. More than 200 people enjoyed samples of signature food and beverages from a dozen local vendors and raised more than $22,000 for FDLTCC student scholarships.
The crowd voted to award the Golden Spoon to Route 61 out of Moose Lake for their ribs and tasty deconstructed cheesecake. The Silver Spoon award went to Room at the Table catering for their fantastic assortment of desserts and baked goods.
Room at the Table chef Paul Sapyta said he loves the annual event.
"It's a good cause, it's local and the people are always super great," he said. "Plus I get to hang out with the other vendors and meet new people."
Other vendors included Bearaboo Coffee, Carmen's, Chef's Marketplace, Cold One Liquor, Common Grounds, Holy Smokes, Mom's Best Baklava, Papa Murphy's, Streetcar Kitchen & Pub and Trapper Pete's.
Additional highlights of this year's Food for Thought included a silent auction, raffle, and the return of the Wall of Wine. This year's Wall of Wine was expanded to include packs of beer and all the beverages were generously donated by Cold One Liquor.
