Taste of the Nation: First Few Restaurants On Board

Restaurants are committing to Share Our Strength's Taste of the Nation event for 2011 faster than ever before. Already, Campanile, Cleo, Culina, Eva, Fig, Gelato Bar, Joe’s Restaurant, SimonLA, The Foundry and Border Grill are on board. With Jeff Bridges on as spokesman (er, spokesdude) and rumor of a beer garden, this may top even last year's sold out event. [EaterWire]
