I was so honored to be invited as a VIP to this event and would like to share with you a little bit about it.  This is an amazing non-profit organization that comes together every year to support the No Kid Hungry benefit.  Taste of the nation comes together with some amazing chefs and culinary experts to raise money so that every child will not be hungry.  This year they raised $40,000.  Think of how many kids they have helped.  I got to meet some amazing people like Walter Staib and Top chef winner of season 7, Kevin Sbraga, who opened a restaurant here in Philadelphia called Sbraga.  There were well over 20 restaurants there to sample some of their amazing dishes.  There were also wines from Sonoma Cutrer, Specialty cocktails and premium beers provided by Belukus Marketing and Duvel.  These are just some of the great things that were at Taste of the Nation.  This is definitely a no miss event when it comes around.  So I hope some of you will come out next year.  If you would like to donate to this amazing cause please visit www.strength.org, I will also keep you posted on next year’s event.
