Taste of the Nation Holds Monday Pre-Tasting Event

Here come the details, finally, for that pre-Taste of the Nation VIP event. Organizers have confirmed Monday's line up. The Angeleno-hosted event features three busy LA chefs: Quinn Hatfield, Walter Manzke, and Laurent Quenioux. Each will prepare a food demo, in addition to cheese tastings from the Santa Monica farmer's market and an olive oil drizzle bar. To top it off, it's open bar (beer and wine) too. The tasting takes place at Snyder Diamond and only 100 total tickets will be sold (the required $40 donation goes to Share Our Strength). Also note, all attendees receive $40 off their Taste of the Nation LA ticket. Interested parties should RSVP here. [EaterWire] — Yvonne Ip
