Taste of the Nation for No Kid Hungry

Taste of the Nation for No Kid Hungry, the country’s premier culinary event for a cause, will return to Houston on Thursday, April 24th, at Silver Street Studios. The event brings together over 40 of the best chefs, restauranteurs, tastemakers, and mixologists from around Houston for one evening to serve guests scrumptious bite-sized fare, craft cocktails, and delectable desserts to support No Kid Hungry, a national campaign to end childhood hunger in America. The highly decorated tastemakers in attendance include Top Chef finalists Evelyn Garcia and Dawn Burrell, Michelin Star restaurants such as Truth BBQ and BCN Taste & Tradition, and multiple James Beard Award nominees and winners. Taste of the Nation provides guests with an exclusive opportunity to sample Houston’s top culinary talent while supporting its mission to ensure all kids have access to the food they need to thrive.

This year’s ultimate foodie experience was crafted in part by five event co-chairs and award-winning chefs from around the city, including Ryan Pera, Chef and Owner of Cultivare; Evelyn Garcia, Chef and Co-Owner of JŪN; Becky Masson, Pastry Chef and Owner of Fluff Bake Bar; Alba Huerta, Bartender and Owner of Julep; and Leonard Botello IV, Pitmaster and Owner of Truth BBQ. These five extraordinary tastemakers worked with the Taste of the Nation producers to bring every cuisine and style of cooking to this event, from savory BBQ staples to upscale farm-to-table dishes. Between bites, guests will cleanse their palates with curated, savory sips by celebrated local mixologists, winemakers, and brewers.

In addition to the delicious food and drinks, there is entertainment to round out the evening experience, such as music and interactive games. Guests will also experience live cooking and mixology demonstrations featuring top talent from around town. This event is a great way to swap out the usual happy hour with coworkers or weeknight dinner with friends to enjoy some good food, all while supporting a great cause.

All-Access Tickets give admission to the event 45-minutes early and include a reusable tasting plate, an exclusive bite and beverage pairing, among other benefits. General Admission tickets are available. This event is expected to sell out.
