A Taste of Taste of the Nation
Last Thursday, Yum and I had the pleasure of attending a delicious fundraiser in San Francisco. Taste of the Nation is a one-night event held in major cities across the United States; the proceeds are donated to Share Our Strength — an organization that fights the hunger crisis in America. Chefs from all over the city came together to serve bites that represented their restaurants and culinary point of view.

Good Food Garden: Love It or Hate It?
While attending the country's first-ever Slow Food Nation this weekend, I came across the Good Food Garden structure that the Food Network and the Share Our Strength unveiled just a week ago.
While I love the fact that Teich Garden Systems, which built the garden, designed it for everything from schoolyards to backyards, I also wonder if it's really necessary to have a special gardening platform, since people have been planting gardens for hundreds of years without them. What do you think of the Good Food Garden?
Food Network's Last-Minute Jump on the SFN Bandwagon
Yesterday morning, Food Network announced its participation in Slow Food Nation. Food Network, along with its charitable partner Share Our Strength, will "unveil a new original platform" called Good Food Gardens. The fully sustainable gardens will be filled with seasonal fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

Hoping to squeeze in a few more food festivals while Summer's still going strong? This week's the opportune time, whether you want to learn how to make your own pit barbecue and ice cream — or simply want to enjoy an assortment of top microbrews. I think this weekend's Epicurean Classic would be a fitting way to enjoy Michigan's gorgeous weather — and I'm pretty stoked by the prospect of attending Oakland's first-ever Eat Real Festival.

If you thought last week was jam-packed with food events, then get excited for this week, as the festivals just get better. If I could teleport myself around the world, there's no question I'd hit up the nation's celebrations, from pickles to pie to asparagus to spam.
We will, however, be supporting the cause to end childhood hunger at Share Our Strength's Taste of the Nation series (if you're signed up to go to the San Francisco event, perhaps we'll see you there!).

Spring is in the air, and that's evident with the number of fun food events going on this week that pay homage to everything from rum to crawfish.
We can't wait to taste our way through the year's best wines at Wine Enthusiast's annual Toast of the Town, and taste tequila cocktails made by SF's top mixologists at the Nirvino Mixology Contest.
What events will you be eating your way through this week?
