At Taste, live music welcomes hundreds of guests to a sunlit lakeside lawn where they sample and sip from more than 40 top restaurants, breweries and wine bars. A silent auction and a raffle for exciting prizes build suspense. And people from all over Chicago and the North Shore reconnect with old friends and make new ones. The event celebrates “Great Food for a Great Cause.” That cause? Doing good in our city and abroad.
