Want to eat for a good cause? At the 31st-Annual Taste of the Nation for No Kid Hungry, you can! Taking place on Friday, May 17—from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.—this annual tasting event will bring together South Florida’s top chefs, sommeliers, mixologists and brewers for a tasting event like no other.
Along with mixing, mingling, and indulging in fine fare, artisan beer, craft cocktails, and decadent desserts, guests of this event will be able to bid in a silent auction and participate in a “giving tree,” where attendees can make donations in exchange for exclusive dining opportunities at the night’s participating restaurants. The best part: every penny made from all of the above, and ticket sales, will go towards No Kid Hungry’s efforts to end childhood hunger in America.
Led by Chef Chair Timon Balloo (SUGARCANE | raw bar grill), Co-Chair Cesar Zapata (Phuc Yea), and Chef Co-Chairs Paula DaSilva (The Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale) and Alex Kuk and Diego Ng (Temple Street Eatery), this year’s chefs are no joke.
