This year we celebrate the 25^thYear Anniversary of the Taste of the Nation Miami led by Event Chair and Miami legend Chef Allen Susser.  Chef Allen Susser and Restaurant Chair Chef Andre Bienvenu of Joe’s Stone Crab will put together an incredible line-up of local restaurants committed to Share Our Strength’s vision to ending childhood hunger. Each restaurant will prepare small portions of their best dishes for guests to taste, and guests will also have the opportunity to bid in a live and silent auction.
