Battle Creek Food Prize

The Battle Creek Food Prize is back and we couldn’t be happier!

Food Prize is a food event and pitch competition held with 12 finalists at Kellogg Arena Oct. 7. It’s also the kickoff to Battle Creek Restaurant Week.

With over a $40,000 prize pool, the food entrepreneurs pitched their ideas to a panel of judges as well as the ticket-buying public. All told, five entrepreneurs Northern Initiatives has worked with – in both providing money and know-how, won $13,500!
