Capital Area United Way is hosting its 28th annual Jambalaya Jam today at North Boulevard Town Square.

Taste your way through the street as nearly 50 teams compete for the coveted best jambalaya title and help CAUW raise money for the community.  Festivities begin at 5 p.m. and continue after 8 p.m. with music from Nashville recording artist Craig Campbell.  This year’s Jam King will be Baton Rouge’s own Jay Ducote from Food Network Star, BiteandBooze.com and Hug Jay D, LLC.

Ticket options include $7 to-go plates, $10 all-you-can-eat jambalaya or $75 VIP passes.
