$150 Later: Taste Of The Nation Comes To Chicago

Hey, want to do something right by America’s hungry children while reveling in the gustatory excesses of a corporatized benefit gala tonight? Well, you’re in luck - Taste of the Nation 2007 is in town at the River East Art Center from 5:30pm to 9pm. For $150, you and a guest (who must also pay $150) can sample drinks and snacks whipped up by 30 chefs and 20 mixologists of local reknown. Participating restaurants include newcomers like Aigre Doux Restaurant & Bakery, Alhambra Palace and Crust, so you can taste what all the fuss is about. And if that’s not enough, there will be a series of auctions that also benefit the cause. Last year, the event raised $100k, which was granted out to local food charities and educational programs, so your ticket is totally tax deductible. To make it happen, call Pam Gross at 312-972-4347, since online ticket sales have long since ended.
