Just when I was looking for word of Princeton’s annual Taste of the Nation – the TWENTIETH year! – the good news arrived:
Central New Jersey’s premier hunger-relief/tasting event takes place Sunday, May 20, 2:00-5:00pm, at Tre Piani restaurant in Forrestal Village. Tre Piani Chef/Owner Jim Weaver is hosting the event as a launch party for his new book, Locavore Adventures. (Whatta guy!!)
He’s rounding up the best food and beverage purveyors and artisans in the area for this extravaganza, so get your tickets early for this lovely spring afternoon event You’ll mingle with chefs, bid on fabulous auction items and taste delicious food, and hopefully the weather will cooperate so attendees can enjoy the beautiful plaza area outside the restaurant, too.
Use my special Promo Code, NJSPICE, for a discount until a week before the event, so your ticket will be $75 instead of $85. Remember, 100% of the ticket price goes to the beneficiary organizations, most of them local.
(Meanwhile, if you’re eager to get a signed copy of the book, Jim appears at Whole Foods Princeton on March 31 at 1:00pm, and at Barnes & Noble Princeton Saturday, May 12 at 2:00pm.)
