As fundraising parties go, the annual Taste of the Nation event benefitting childhood hunger organization Share Our Strength is always a good one. Over 40 different restaurants come together in the Millennium Ballroom in the Loews Hotel to offer drinks and snacks of all kinds, and chefs and bartenders from the city’s best establishments will be mingling throughout the room.

The bash goes down on Monday, May 7, and your $85 ticket scores you all-you-can-eat-and-drink access to the 6:30–9:30 PM event. Along with Top Chef’s Kevin Sbraga as the chef chair, talented Fish bartender Theo Webb is mixology chair, and Brown-Forman (purveyors of Herradura, Woodford Reserve, Finlandia and more) is the beverage sponsor, so you’re assured of fantastic cocktails throughout the night.

If you want even better access, snag a VIP ticket for $135, and get in an hour early at 5:30 PM. That’s a lot of noshing and sipping in an exclusive environment! Last year’s event raised over $40,000 for to help end childhood hunger throughout the region. Space is limited, so head over and reserve your spot now.
