The only competitive cooking kitchen in the Sunshine State, Edelyn Cooking Arena in Punta Gorda, Florida, has been a gracious host for five Feast Fest exhibitions. Edelyn Cooking Arena is kindly to FF chefs--the average FF exhibition score at Edelyn has been 96.7.
Used mainly for local cooking competitions and sometimes as a large concessioner's kitchen for large-scale outdoor events, the FF exhibitions are the highest-caliber events hosted by the Arena.
With a capacity of 2,184, Edelyn has drawn full houses for the exhibitions, which are free to the public. A state of the art cooking arena, Edelyn looks to the future with a sleek design and unique aesthetical aspects. FF concurred at Edelyn most recently on April 28th of this year.

Edelyn is very popular with Feast Fest chefs; many call it "the best" exhibition venue, and in 2009 Edelyn became the first and only FF exhibition venue to host two exhibitions in one Feast Fest year. Not only that, but in that year, 2009, Edelyn both opened AND closed the FF Exhibitional Season.
Edelyn also lays claim to being the venue with the highest ever FF exhibitional score, when Feast Fest concurred in Punta Gorda on June 26, 2007, and snagged a near-prefect 99.8 mark.
Edelyn has some of the best crowd turnouts, and tickets are already on sale at edelyncookingarena.com for the next exhibitions. Due to increasing demand, just as it did in 2009, Edelyn will open AND close the 2011 FF Exhibitional Season, with exhibitions on January 22 and November 8, and will again have 2 exhibitions in 2012.
