It’s no secret I enjoy good food. I’m guessing you do, too. So what better way to spend part of a Sunday than eating good food for a good cause. You can do that very thing this Sunday at Taste of the Nation Los Angeles, at Media Park in Culver City. The event will feature great chefs and great food. It’s part of a nationwide fundraiser to combat childhood hunger. You can participate in  Taste of the Nation events in other parts of the country, too.

Each year Taste of the Nation Los Angeles brings together dozens of top local chefs to donate their time and culinary know-how to raise money for area food banks and hunger programs. California Olive Ranch is a sponsor.

There will be cooking demonstrations by Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger for the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute, and Michael Mina for XIV. Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold will be leading this year’s Mole!! Cookoff, and will later be available at the “Ask Jonathan Booth.”

Taste of the Nation Los Angeles is one of more than 40 Taste of the Nation events being held across the county and in Canada by Share Our Strength, the national antihunger organization. Since 1988, Taste of the Nation has raised more than $70 million.

Proceeds from the Los Angeles fundraiser will go to organizations such as Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, St. Joseph’s Center, Los Angeles Coalition to End Hunger and Homelessness, and California Food Policy Advocates.

For those of you in the Los Angeles area, come on by for a great time, great food, and a great cause. And for those of you elsewhere, check for a Taste of the Nation event in your area.

Bon appétit,

Claude S. Weiller
Vice President of Sales & Marketing
