Attention all foodies of the Outer Banks! Along with several
exciting Outer Banks events happening this March, we’ve got a delectable
culinary treat coming our way. From March 14 through the 17, the 2013 Outer
Banks Taste of the Beach Weekend will be in full swing. Guests will flock from
all over to taste the local flavor of the Outer Banks. Feel free to head on
over to the official OBX
Taste of the Beach website to start making your plans for St. Patrick’s Day
weekend as all events have been posted and finalized.
To celebrate St. Patty’s day there will be certain events
pertaining to the Irish culinary theme, however, our local flair and flavor
will not be overshadowed. There will also be events highlighting our local
highly trained Chef’s and artisans as we celebrate delicious fresh seafood,
fine wine tastings and brewery tours.
A favorite of locals and visitors alike for over 28 years, Kelly’s
Outer Banks Restaurant and Tavern will take part in an ever popular Outer Banks
event, the annual friendly competition that will happen on Sundaythe 17th. We
all know that the Outer Banks boasts some top notch, amazing restaurants and
eateries, so, as always the competition will be fierce and it will be tough. For
three consecutive years, Kelly’s has proudly taken home a trophy for People’s Choice
for Favorite Dessert and in years past has had the honor of competing as an
overall finalist.
Getting hungry yet? Here’s a sneak peek of
an Outer Banks event that will be happening at Kelly’s during Taste of the
Beach: On Friday, the 15th from 6-9 p.m., we’ll be hosting “A
Celebration of Northeast North Carolina.” Diners will get to try five different
courses of Chef’s selections with distinct ale and wine pairings for each
course. If you’re not drooling yet, here are some of the courses you’ll get to
try: Spinach Salad with Champagne Vinaigrette and Seared Scallops, accompanied
by Shelton Chardonnay and Sliced Pork Tenderloin with your choice of mint
enhanced apples or pan seared Rockfish with Dijon Cream and Grilled Shrimp. And,
of course, you’d be missing out if you didn’t try one of our famous
award-winning deserts.
If you don’t think you’ll be able to wait until Friday to begin
this weekend of food-lover’s paradise, then start your celebration early on
Thursday with the OBX University Grub & Pub Crawl. From 9:30 p.m.- 2 a.m.
this promises to be an Outer Banks event for the books. During this bar crawl
you’ll get to try out many of the different pubs the OBX has to offer—including
Kelly’s Tavern!
Finally, what would St. Patty’s Day weekend be without a proper
Irish dinner? On Saturday and Sunday, drop on by for a casual dinner at Kelly’s
restaurant and try some of our Corned Beef Cabbage, Irish Soda Bread and other
tasty Irish traditions. There will also be live entertainment by the band
“Johnny Waters & Company.”
