SOUPer Bowl and Frostbite Marathon kick off Saturday
Hungry locals can fill up and warm up after this week’s winter weather at the annual SOUPer Bowl, hosted by the Starkville Main Street Association, 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Saturday on Main Street in Starkville.
Greater Starkville Development Partnership Director of Tourism Jennifer Prather said SOUPer Bowl is an annual soup-tasting competition between local Starkville restaurants.
Tickets cost $15 ahead of time and $20 the day of the event.
“It is open to all local restaurants, and the chefs get to create a soup that shows off their creativity and flair and create something that is not traditionally on their menu,” Prather said.
Participants get to taste a custom-made soup from each restaurant, Prather said, and then vote for their favorite on a ballot.
Bulldog Burger Co., Nine-Twenty Nine Coffee, Moe’s Original BBQ, Humble Taco, Central Station Grill, The Camphouse, Bin 612, Sweet Peppers Deli, Commodore Bob’s, City Bagel Cafe, Harvey’s, Two Brother’s Smoked Meats and Restaurant Tyler will all participate in the SOUPer Bowl competition.
“To me, what’s unique about it is, not only do chefs get to make unique culinary creations,
“I believe that we need a strong conservative congressman to represent Mississippi.” Guest said.
Guest told the Starkville Daily News he has been thinking
about running for this position for several years. He said once he heard Harper would not seek reelection, it was time to throw his name into the hat.
“I felt that this was an opportunity for me to take the skills that I have learned in
the courtroom fighting for the people of our state then to go to Washington and fight for our citizens in the halls of congress,” Guest said.
The primary for the third congressional district will begin on June 5 and the general election date is on Nov. 6.
