Dear readers, I won’t be able to post for a few days, as our blogs will be undergoing some much-needed maintenance. But I wanted to remind you that if you’d like to attend this year’s Taste of the Nation (April 20, see my previous post at http://www.packetinsider.com/blog/njspice/?p=268), my insider’s discount is still good until April 15. When you purchase your tickets, type in the promotional code: FAITH, and you’ll get tickets for $75 instead of $85. (And they’re $95 at the door, if they’re even available.)
This beautiful photo of tuna sashimi was provided by The Frog and the Peach, one of Taste of the Nation’s long-time participants. I’ve become a great fan of owner Betsy Alger’s Frog Blog (she is the Honorary co-chair of the event this year), which gives a thoughtful view of what it’s like to own a fine dining establishment, especially in these challenging times. Visit that site, and enjoy a great read. (And then, of course, visit the restaurant!)
