Saturday, Sept. 5, is the date for the third annual foodie scavenger hunt that is known as the InterNASHional Food Crawl. The event is a fundraiser for Tennessee Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition's Welcoming Tennessee initiative, and even more importantly, seeks to raise awareness of the TIRRC and its efforts to empower immigrants and refugees across the state.
This year, the Food Crawl will direct participants to 15 different ethnic restaurants and markets along a five-mile stretch of Nolensville Road. There are two ticket options, a $10 general admission ticket or a $30 VIP experience. General admission offers a map to eight to 10 of the participating venues and a wristband that entitles you to free tastings at spots representing Mexican, Middle Eastern, Thai, Indian and other types of cuisine.
The VIP experience includes transportation in a special bus to stops that are only available to the VIP patrons. In addition to all of the benefits of a general admission ticket, VIP guests will also be treated to their own tour guide, plus drinks on the bus. Two sessions of the VIP tour leave at noon and 2 p.m., while general admission participants can travel at their leisure any time from noon until 4:00.
Tickets for the InterNashional Food Crawl are available at the event website, and the event sold out both of the previous years. So get on it!
