A national dining event celebrating your local restaurant community.

Taste America, presented by Capital One, is a nationwide initiative to bring 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 Philadelphia Museum of Art will be an exciting gathering of chefs from the Philadelphia culinary community with food stations being hosted by chef Chutatip 'Nok' Suntaranon of Kalaya in Philadelphia and many more. Each station’s offering will reflect the chef’s signature style and highlight the uniqueness of their restaurant and community. The tasting will also have beverage stations and other activations from our national and local sponsors.
