Mello Joy sponsors 25th Acadiana Culinary Classic - Tuesday, April 21, 2009
Lafayette, La. — Mello Joy Coffee Company, makers of The Original Cajun Coffee, were official sponsors of the 25th Acadiana Culinary Classic, presented by the American Culinary Federation’s Acadiana Chapter.

The annual Acadiana Culinary Classic took place April 20, 2009, at the Cajundome Convention Center in Lafayette. Chefs from around Louisiana and neighboring states competed in 10 categories for thousands of dollars in prize money.

Professional chefs and the general public sampled the best entries from contestants, as well as Mello Joy products and those offered by other vendors. Money raised at the event benefits Stuller Place, a Lafayette-based non-profit organization that provides support services for sexual abuse victims.

“We’re very supportive of the efforts of Stuller Place,” Mello Joy President Pat Pettijohn said. “Our involvement in the Culinary Classic is about tying the beverage side to some of the finest food in the area.”
