Midlothian – Caterers, restaurants, and chefs from across Ellis County and surrounding cities are coming together, putting their best dish forward to participate in The Signature Dish, Ellis County’s largest culinary event.
Manna House’s friendly culinary competition will take place on Sunday, Oct. 17 as Signature Dish participants showcase their talents, products, restaurants, and businesses to an estimated 300+ Ellis County community-members.
Attendees will taste their way from booth-to-booth, savoring samples prepared by each participant, as the community decides which dish takes the cake, awarding winners across a variety of categories.
This delicious event will also feature live music by The Kadie Lynn Band, exciting prizes, and a silent and live auction for attendees to enjoy.
Hosted by Manna House, a Midlothian-based community outreach organization, all proceeds from the flavorful event will contribute directly to ongoing efforts to end hunger in Ellis County.

“We invite all of Ellis County to join us for The Signature Dish and enjoy a night of fun and community as we work to change lives in our community. Manna House is growing, but we cannot expand our impact without the help of our friends, neighbors and partners.”
