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 Tía Carmen will be an intimate gathering with a multi-course menu created by TasteTwenty chefs Rene Andrade and Derek Christensen of Bacanora in Phoenix, AZ; TasteTwenty chef Fatou Ouattara of AKÂDI PDX, Portland; and host chef Angelo Sosa of Tia Carmen at JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge in Phoenix, AZ. 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.
