Last year’s Food Film Festival was one of the coolest events I’ve ever experienced, and this year is bound to be even better! For those of you not in “the know,” the Food Film Festival is a multi-city (Charleston, NYC, and Chicago), “multisensory food and film experience,” that allows viewers to actually taste the foods they’re watching on screen. This year’s event will take place from November 11-13 at the new Cedar Room at the Cigar Factory, which I’m super pumped about. Use code QUEEN15 to save 15% on your tickets!

The 3-day festival kicks off with an exclusive opening night world premiere screening of the Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown – Charleston, presented by CNN. There will also be films featuring Summerville’s Perfectly Franks and the Holy City’s exploding brewery scene. The full schedule of events and ticket information will be announced soon, but in the meantime here’s a look at the films expected to be be screened during the festival:
