Subject: Southeast Regional Barista Competition
|
Hey Friends,
I'd like to extend an open invitation to the 4th Annual Southeast
Regional Barista Competition, September 22-24, in the Center for
Dramatic Arts on the campus of the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill. Attracting baristas from 10 Southeastern states, the
event will showcase a unique competition of creative skill, culinary
artistry, and unsurpassed espresso service. Each 15-minute elimination
round requires competitors to prepare one espresso, one cappuccino, and
one original signature drink for each of four judges. Hosted by
Counter Culture Coffee and PlayMakers Repertory Company, the
competition begins this Friday at 11:00 a.m!
The stakes are high! The eventual Southeast Regional Barista Champion
will earn a spot and first round bye in the 2007 U.S. Barista
Championship (USBC), where coffee professionals from across the country
will vie for the national title and chance to compete on the grand
stage of next year's World Barista Championship. To sweeten the pot,
Counter Culture will cover 100% of travel and accommodation expenses
for the SERBC winner's trip to the USBC in April 2007, held in
conjunction with the SCAA Annual Conference and Exhibition in Long
Beach, CA.
Among the fastest growing culinary competitions in the nation, the
SERBC features some of the most accomplished and skilled beverage
professionals in the United States. The SERBC is open to coffee
professionals living in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West
Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, and
Florida. Only two competitors per coffeehouse may participate.
Thanks to the generous support of sponsors, the even is FREE and open
to the public.
