The Budweiser Taste of St. Louis includes the Gateway Arch in its logo, but this year you’ll find the area’s largest restaurant-tasting event far closer to the Missouri River than the Mississippi.

Organizers announced Monday morning that the 10th annual edition of the festival, which features samples from area restaurants as well as cooking displays, is relocating from downtown to Chesterfield.

The event will take place Sept. 19-21 at Chesterfield Central Park and the Chesterfield Amphitheater.

Taste of St. Louis marketing director K. Sonderegger said the amphitheater played a key role in the decision to relocate.

“[Chesterfield] is giving us new opportunities we haven’t had before,” Sonderegger said. “The amphitheater is a really big part of it.”

Specifically, Sonderegger said, it will allow for more ambitious cooking displays.

“We’re trying to land big-name Food Network people” for this year’s event, she said. “We’re in talks with them. The amphitheater is perfectly set up for that.”

As part of the announcement, organizers also touted a more “geographically diverse” selection of restaurants participating in the event’s Restaurant Row.
