A national tasting event celebrating your local restaurant community.
The James Beard Foundation’s Taste America® presented by Capital One brings together chefs, special guests, and diners from across the country to celebrate the local independent restaurants at the heart of our communities.
The walk-around tasting at The Grand Belle at The Bellevue, in partnership with Cescaphe, will be an exciting gathering of chefs from the Philadelphia culinary community, with food stations hosted by TasteTwenty chef Randy Rucker of River Twice and Little Water and many other notable local chefs. Each station will reflect the chef’s signature style and highlight the uniqueness of their restaurant and community.
