Taste, a fundraiser hosted by the Kidney Foundation, invites food fanatics and fans of all things local to experience the different “tastes” Chattanooga has to offer for $35 per ticket on March 8 from 5- 9 p.m. at Warehouse Row.
Taste, with a previous life as Taste of Chattanooga, is an event that appeals to all facets of Chattanooga culture. Ticket holders will be entitled to free samplings of local cuisine from many of Chattanooga’s restaurants, plus one drink ticket to be used for beer, wine or other non-alcoholic beverages. Liquor will also be available for purchase at a cash bar.
There will be a wide array of flavors ranging from exotic Indian to Thai to classic Southern BBQ, and more from locally owned and operated restaurants. Each restaurant will set up their own table to provide samples of dishes for attendees.
A competition featuring skilled chefs will take place from 7-8 p.m. Taste goers will have the opportunity to watch as each chef prepares a gourmet dish for judging.
Other "tastes" of Chattanooga featured throughout the event include entertainment from the local music scene, a sampling of local visual art on display and strolling models featuring fashions from Chattanooga's own boutiques.
Local media personalities will emcee the event, engaging attendees and the chefs themselves with questions and lively commentary to create a fun “discussion” with event goers.
All proceeds benefit The Kidney Foundation. Visit www.tastechatt.com for more information.
