Sample Some Early Bites from Benu, Bar Agricole, and Plum

For Thursday’s Taste of the Nation event at AT&T; Park, benefiting Share Our Strength, a few chefs will be featuring preview bites from their as-yet-unopened restaurant ventures during the VIP reception that starts at 5:30. Among them, Daniel Patterson, who’ll be testing out some nibbles from his Oakland venture Plum, Corey Lee who’ll be serving up a hint of what Benu will offer, and Brandon Jew from the long-awaited Bar Agricole will be there as well, likely serving up something along rustic Italian lines. The lineup at the regular reception, which kicks off at 6:30, isn’t too shabby either, with Elizabeth Falkner, Dominique Crenn, and Matthew Accarrino, among others, serving up dishes alongside Honorary Chair Traci Des Jardins.
