SIMON KIDGITS CLUB BRINGS A FEAST OF FUN FOOD FESTIVITIES TO SUPER DUPER MINI CHEFS EVENTS
Families can have fun with food, learn to play a riveting new action puzzle game from Nickelodeon and give back to their community during a special event at Quaker Bridge Mall
LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ, JULY 10, 2012 — Pint-sized food lovers and even the pickiest eaters will have a blast getting crafty with cuisine as Super Duper Mini Chefs makes its annual spring appearance at approximately 100 Simon® malls nationwide. Hosted by the popular Simon Kidgits Club® and sponsored by Nickelodeon, participating kids will actually be encouraged to play with their food!
Super Duper Mini Chefs will take place on Saturday, July 14 at 2 p.m. at Quaker Bridge Mall. At the event, aspiring young cooks and little foodies can explore the creativity of cuisine through a combination of demonstrations and interactive activities. Kids can learn to play Nickelodeon’s new iCarly: Groovy Foodie! game, based on the hit Nickelodeon television series iCarly, available exclusively for the Nintendo DS™ on June 12. In iCarly: Groovy Foodie!, players can help Carly and Sam get out of trouble by serving wacky dishes to crazy customers in a fast paced, action puzzle game that dishes out all the random hilarity from the show. Super Duper Mini Chefsattendees who try out iCarly: Groovy Foodie! will receive an exclusive GameStop coupon to use on their next purchase.
Other food-focused activities that will be hosted include pasta crafts and a decorate your own chef hat or apron. Also, for the first 50 Kidgits members who RSVP, Chef Carl Giardina who is known locally for his “Make A Pizza Parties”, will show children how to make their own 10-inch pizza. He’ll start with a video presentation, then show the kids the proper way to make pizza starting with the crust all the way down to the toppings. The kids will then lead in a pizza parade, showing off their own pie that they can bring home to bake for their family. After all of their hard work, they’ll get to eat some pizza by a local vendor while they enjoy some of Chef Carl’s favorite magic tricks. The event is closed with a Chef Carl University Graduation Ceremony where each of the children receives a diploma from “Chef Carl University.” Event attendees will also receive a special recipe card for Spaghetti Tacos, an imaginative meal made well-known among children by Nickelodeon’s iCarly television series, and a colorful Simon Kidgits Club® plate to continue the culinary creativity at home.
As part of the event, kids are encouraged to lend a hand to those in need by bringing a non-perishable food item to Quaker Bridge Mall to be donated to Mercer Street friends.
Jayne Stilson, assistant vice president of business development for Simon Brand Ventures, the business-to-consumer division of Simon Property Group said, “Super Duper Mini Chefs provides kids an outlet to express their imagination and have a good time being inspired by the art of food.”
