Chef Allen Susser, chair of Taste of the Nation Miami for 27 years, will pull together an incredible line-up of local restaurants and mixologists who’ll donate their time, talent and passion to end childhood hunger. The evening will also include live entertainment along with live, silent and wine auctions, cooking competitions, special wine and spirits, and gift bags. I’m donating a gift certificate to this worthy cause, so good luck winning.
Produced by Share Our Strength, a national nonprofit fighting childhood hunger, the goal of each Taste of the Nation event is to raise much-needed funds to help end childhood hunger. 100 percent of ticket sales from this Taste of the Nation event benefit Share Our Strength’s mission to fight and end childhood hunger.
