A few weeks ago marked the BIGGEST tasting event in Boston – Taste of the Nation Boston. My delay in blogging about it is unforgivable, I know, however many of my other blogging buddies that attended wrote some incredible posts on the event. So incredible that I don’t know how I can add to it. Here are a few buds and their thoughts on this year’s event at the Hynes Convention Center:
- MenuPages Boston Blog – College reporter Lena Chen interviewed almost every spokesperson (including Billy Shore, executive director at SOS) at the event and captured the above picture from Gargoyles table (one of my personal picks for best dish of the night)
- The Bostonist – Reviewer Ann Woody tasted and conquered this event and wrote a flavorful post of the tastes, sites and sounds of the event.
- Transient Travels – Blogger Susan Forshner captured the international influence of Taste of the Nation’s cause to end child hunger and included a nice recap of her wonder through the event. (Not to mention that she rushed to the event after a full work day!)
- Besotted Gourmet – Food writer, Jessica, who gives the event a foodie thumbs up and includes pics of some of her favorite eatable finds.
To sum it up: We came, we ate, we enjoyed some great music, we got to meet the chefs behind the foodie magic, and we teetered around the VIP area with some delicious Bombay Sapphire drinks.
The best part was that all proceeds for the event went to battle child hunger. Parent organization, Share Our Strength should be proud of an event well planned and executed. Word on the street has it that even despite the troubled economy, they raised some well needed funds. Congratulations to all who came and hopefully we’ll see you all next year!
