The annual Chefs of the Coast extravaganza – an evening of fabulous food, wine, dancing, raffle items, and the Food As Art Competition – takes place Sunday evening at the Mississippi Coast Convention Center in Biloxi, but this year’s event is actually a three-day affair.
This evening you’ll find “Dash and Dine,” a collection of restaurants and entertainment in downtown Gulfport, then on Saturday afternoon there’s the “Stock-pot Cookoff” at the Coast Convention Center, and the main course on Sunday, the 29th Annual Chefs of the Coast Venetian Carnival Gala at the Convention Center.

Zoning cases, facade projects on council agenda
The Biloxi City Council will consider two zoning cases and a host of Katrina-related construction projects during its meeting Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 at City Hall.
The zoning cases, part of an agenda of nearly 16 measures, involve the re-platting of the
Sandollar Condominiums at Irish Hill Drive and McDonnell Avenue, and the expansion of a self-storage business on Eisenhower Drive.
Also on the agenda are requests to declare four downtown façade projects as substantially complete, a proposal involving repairs to the Forrest Avenue boat launch, and a measure that would see the re-alignment of Eisenhower Drive, thanks to a right-of-way donation from American National Insurance Company, the owners of Edgewater Mall.
