A popular thick chicken-based soup recipe originating in Belgium will be featured in a competition at the NFL Draft festivities in Green Bay next month, and the Belgian Heritage Center of Namur will represent Door County. Downtown Green Bay will host the Booyah Battle, and the Belgian Heritage Center will vie for the Best Booyah and the People’s Choice Award. Belgian Heritage Foundation President Joe Alexander says the organization has had a lot of practice perfecting its signature booyah over the years by featuring it at several events during the season. He says Brian Delwiche and Jerry Reince will be the chefs representing the Belgian Heritage Center at the competition.
The Booyah Battle takes place on Friday, April 25, from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at 100 Washington Street in Green Bay. You can attend the event and vote for the People’s Choice award by purchasing tickets for $3 for a six-ounce sample of booyah. The Belgian Heritage Center was one of a dozen Booyah competitors chosen for the first-ever Booyah Battle.
