A national dining event celebrating your local restaurant community.

Taste America, presented by Capital One, is a nationwide initiative to bring together chefs, special guests, and diners from across the country to celebrate the local independent restaurants at the heart of our communities.

The dinner at MW Restaurant and Artizen by MW will be an intimate gathering with a multi-course menu created by chefs Michelle Karr-Ueoka and Wade Ueoka of MW Restaurant and Artizen by MW in Honolulu and chefs Katianna and John Hong of Yangban in Los Angeles. The menu will reflect their signature styles and highlight the uniqueness of their restaurants and communities. The dinner will also include beverage pairings for each course.
