CityBeat‘s inaugural Mac & Cheese Throwdown takes place Nov. 2 at Camp Washington’s American Sign Museum. Local chefs will go head-to-head in a melty, cheesy smackdown competition pitting mac-and-cheese dish against mac-and-cheese dish to see whose creation reigns supreme.

Participants include Eli’s BBQ, Court Street Lobster Bar, The Eagle OTR, Keystone’s Mac Shack, MamaBear’s Mac and more. After sampling all the mac and cheese you can handle, attendees will decide on the winner.

5:30 p.m. Nov. 2. $35; early bird tickets are sold out. More info and tickets at macandcheesecincy.com.
