go Vibrant and the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber have partnered together to bring healthy items to the forefront at the nation’s longest running culinary arts festival – Taste of Cincinnati.

The partnership grows with each year, and the 2013 festival was highlighted by:

1) The Taste of Cincinnati offering a ‘Best Go Vibrant Healthy Dining option’ award in addition to Best appetizer, entree, and dessert.  The 2013 winner was the Thai Fried Rice from Thai Taste. Other award winners can be found here.

2) The Taste of Cincinnati 2013 edition kicking-off on Friday @ Noon on Cincinnati’s Fountain Square with the go Vibrant Veggie Races, a quirky but fun event that saw 8 local teams build soap-box-derby cars out of vegetables.  The Cincinnati Business Courier won the inaugural race!  See the promotional video the Chamber created here.

3) Vibrant menu options continuing, with 18 menu options being offered by 12 different vendors constituting 11% of total meals.  A go Vibrant menu option meets American Heart Association standards for a healthy meal.
