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.

This walk-around tasting at Four Season Hotel San Francisco will be an exciting gathering of chefs from the San Francisco Bay Area culinary community, with food stations from TasteTwenty host chef Anya El-Wattar of Birch & Rye in San Francisco, CA; TasteTwenty guest chef and James Beard Award semifinalist Yuan Tang of Rooster & Owl in Washington, D.C.; and more talented chefs. Each station’s offering will reflect the chef’s signature style and highlight the uniqueness of their restaurant and community. The tasting will also have beverage stations and other activations from our national and local sponsors.
