Taste of the Nation

There are a lot of reasons to go to Taste of the Nation in Culver City this Sunday: Eating at the event almost costs less than dinner at many of the restaurants participating; all proceeds go to Share Our Strength charities; and you'll meet some of the city's top chefs (Miller, Cimarusti, Myers, Feniger and Milliken, Ford, Travi, Greenspan, Kleiman, Lefevre), one of this season's Top Chefs (Antonia Lofaso), and there's even the promise of a Colicchio sighting. Sipping wine outside on a 75-degree day and schmoozing are really just the icing. Advance tickets still available ($115); $125 at the door. More info here. [ELA]
