Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
Helping fight hunger, cocktails, delicious bites: if any of the above appeal to you, don’t miss Taste of the Nation next week.
This annual event—hosted by Chef Ryan Pera of Agricole Hospitality, Chef Rebecca Masson of Fluff Bake Bar, and Alba Huerta of Julep—is one of Houston’s biggest opportunities to support ending childhood hunger in America in the finest culinary fashion, featuring some of the top restaurants, chefs and mixologists around Houston.
During the two-hour event, you can look forward to sampling bites from a variety of new and classic restaurants including Eunice, One Fifth Mediterranean, La Lucha, Uchi, Coltivare, and Tejas Chocolate & Barbecue. Of course desserts from Fluff Bake Bar will make an appearance alongside Michael’s Cookie Jar, Dolce Neve and Cacao & Cardamom and more. Expect to also find bites from upcoming concepts like Tropicales and Rosie Cannonball.
For the first time, this year you'll also find the debut of a Cocktail Apothecary where some of Houston's top mixologists will create custom cocktails for guests.
Like many cities, Houston continues to struggle with poverty and food insecurity—still 1 in 4 kids struggle with hunger. In previous years, Taste of the Nation has raised thousands of dollars, and all proceeds go toward helping launch school breakfast programs, provide summer meals, and empower families to shop and prepare healthy meals.
The event will be held at Silver Street Studios on Wednesday, May 22 from 7 – 9 p.m. Tickets start at $125. For additional information and to purchase tickets, visit the No Kid Hungry website.
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
