Taste Of The Nation VIP Ticket Giveaway!

Share Our Strength’s Taste of the Nation® South Florida, is gearing up for its 27th epic pachanga. This year, this huge fundraiser aimed at ending childhood hunger will highlight almost 50 of the hottest restaurants from both Dade and Broward counties. It won't just be local restaurants in the limelight, but top chefs, sommeliers, mixologists and brewers will all be giving it their best. The South Beach Chic – Food, Wine & Art-themed benefit will also feature silent and live auctions, an interactive art display and a beer garden.

If for some reason you don't get enough to eat at Taste Of The Nation, the “Chefs on a Half Shell” after party will feature oyster creations from host restaurant Lure Fishbar as well as The Dutch at W South Beach, Devon Seafood + Steak and Aaron’s Catering.
