Taste of the Nation’s success is due to the thousands of dedicated volunteers in cities across the United States. These volunteers—chefs, corporate sponsors, marketing and public relations professionals, event planners, financiers and individuals who believe that no child should know hunger. They have helped raised more than $75 million for anti-hunger organizations that run or advocate for programs that connect at-risk families with the food they need to thrive.
100% of ticket sales support Share Our Strength’s efforts to end childhood hunger.

It was great running into you and meeting you last night!
DItto!
Hey I posted a video of the creme brulee station… where you almost burnt your tongue haha
Bahahaha, checking it out now! The taste was worth any potential fire hazards
The dessert station was done by the World center Marriott, not the JW…….
Thanks for the catch. I will make that change as soon as I can! I saw the JW lights and got confused. Good to hear from you though!
