The Second Annual South Hills School Culinary Week Food Festival will be held on Wednesday, June 24 from noon to 6:00 p.m. on the north lawn of South Hills School, 480 Waupelani Drive in State College. This joint production with the Central Pennsylvania Convention and Visitors Bureau was such a hit last year that we have an even bigger festival planned for this year.
Live chef demonstrations, an all-local-foods farmers market, live music, workshops and tours will provide an afternoon of learning, fun, and fabulous food for the entire family. And here’s some food for thought…workshops on starting a small restaurant business, hot careers in Central Pennsylvania, exploring financial aid resources, and much more will also run throughout the day.
The live cooking demonstrations begin at noon with Chef Duke Gastiger from Spats Café and continue every half hour, as follows:
Noon: Spats Café–Chef Duke Gastiger
12:30: Rotelli’s–Chef Dave Krauth
1:00: South Hills Knowledge Kafé–Chef Greg Meagher
1:30: Gemelli Bakers–Chef Tony Sapia
2:00: Home D Pizzeria–Chef Brandon Agostinelli
2:30: Gigi’s Southern Table–Chef John Clickner II

4:00: Faccia Luna–Chefs Greenleaf & Gibboney
4:30: El Gringo–Chef Ben Stanley
5:00: Allen Street Grill–Chef Bert Burger
