Taste the Future.

I was lucky enough to be one of the recipients of a ticket to this year's ever-popular Taste the Future at Columbus State Community College.  This 21-year-old event is features culinary masterpieces from more than 50 of central Ohio's best restaurants, bakeries and caterers. These amazing chefs come together to showcase their talents while raising scholarship money for prospective college students. 

Wow, this WHOLE event was amazing.  I have never been to a food show that had so many high-end chefs serving the most fabulous food.  I hadn't even made it halfway around and was stuffed.  No worries, I kept eating, the food was too hard to resist!  Every table was beautifully decorated, every chef was friendly and outgoing.  And the aptmosphere was wonderful.  A dressy event held in the college courtyard complete with twinkle lights, music and dozens of different wines. 

And check out some of this food:

 

Ohio Sweet Corn Bread Pudding with Rosemary Caramel Sauce

 

 

 

Heirloom Tomato Caprese Salad

 

 

I've been meaning to go to several of these famous Columbus restaurants but have been putting it off for a while.  It's hard to pony up the cash for an expensive dinner when you're not quite sure if you're going to LOVE the food.  This event was a great way to sample their signature dishes without worrying about the price!  I found a few restaurants that I will definitely be venturing to in the near future, such as Sage and Due Amici.

I cannot wait for next year's event!
