Last month,
I wrote about my invitation to the upcoming
Share our Strength's
Taste of the Nation fundraiser. I was really excited about this event because childhood hunger is a major issue in our country and there is no better way to bring awareness to this issue than with the help of generous local chefs.
I attended the event with a complimentary VIP media ticket courtesy of
Susan - one of the fabulous public relations chairs for the event. I indulged in so many great bites of food and glasses of bubbly. And of course, I had a blast hanging out with some of my favorite Boston food bloggers. Here are some photos from last night:
 |
The Blue Room's Gougeres with Goat Cheese, Salami and Fig Jam
This was my FAVORITE bite of the entire evening. |
 |
| The band in the VIP lounge |
 |
| My choice beverage for the evening |
 |
Neptune Oyster was shucking fresh oysters.
The Peter's Point oysters were my favorite! |
 |
| This tuna tartare was a much-needed bright and light bite! |
 |
I told the folks at Silvertone that their mac and cheese
got me through law school! |
 |
Chef Richard Garcia of 606 Congress' spring asparagus veloute
He was so gracious about our version, which was nothing like the real deal. |
 |
I totally geeked out when I met Tiffani Faison.
And I gushed about her tripe lasagna, which is one of my fave dishes of all time. |
These are just a SMALL portion of the photos I took last night. I think I went a little photo crazy. More important than the photos, we all pledged against child hunger and if you are interested in pledging (with no cost at all), please click
here and also help spread the word!
