Last night we grazed at Orlando’s Taste of the Nation, if you’ve never been to this event you must go next year! As food lovers, there’s nothing better than walking into a massive room filled with culinary delights to sample at your leisure.
Forty two leading chefs and restaurants, served up endless plates during last night’s event. Every dollar raised fights hunger and homelessness in the Central Florida. Local beneficiaries include Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida and Florida Impact.
