New this year: A special pre-party “Intimate Affair with Neil Fuentes, The Singing Chef!” Neil is the Executive Chef at Jojoto, a Venezuelan hot spot in Branford, and is a regular guest on Connecticut Style, Chopped, and a champion on Food Network’s Rewrapped. He will kick off our evening with an entertaining cooking demonstration from 6pm-7pm.
This year's Taste will feature offerings from nearly two dozen of our area’s most notable restaurants, among them Geronimo, Pane e Bene, Rive Bistro, the Spotted Horse, and Spread. We'll have oysters on the half shell from Hummock Island Raw Bar, and a selection wines and spirits from Black Bear Wines & Spirits and the Greens Farms Spirit Shop.
