A national dining event celebrating your local restaurant community.
The James Beard Foundation’s Taste America® presented by Capital One brings together chefs, special guests, and diners from across the country to celebrate the local independent restaurants at the heart of our communities. A cohort of chefs, representing 20 markets across the country and known as the TasteTwenty, will host dinners and walk-around tastings spotlighting the breadth and unity of culinary creativity nationwide.
The dinner at The Gladly will be an intimate gathering with a multi-course menu created by TasteTwenty chef Digby Stridiron of Latha and collaborating chef Bernie Kantak of The Gladly. The menu will reflect the chefs’ signature styles and highlight the uniqueness of their restaurants and the Phoenix culinary community. The dinner will include wine pairings with each course.
