We used to attend Taste of the Nation events when they were held in the Detroit area–unfortunately, it’s been a couple of years since they’ve had one here. I think the same restaurant owner did the lion’s share of the work for several years. Another area restaurant group took over, did it one year, and there hasn’t been an event since.
It’s too bad, because it was as fab as you describe Boston Taste event. Raised a lot of money to fight hunger and it was a great way to sample food from a lot of different area restaurants all in one place. Your post reminded me how much we really looked forward to it every year, and how much we miss going now.
We do go to a Champagne Cruise event every August put on by our local food rescue organization, Forgotten Harvest http://www.forgottenharvest.org/ The event takes place on the eve of THE largest classic car cruise along Woodward Ave. in metro Detroit, and includes a sort of mini-version of the Taste events as well as the opportunity to view some fab classic cars cruising Woodward and live music with dancing!
