Taste of the South End

You are currently browsing articles tagged Taste of the South End.

Taste of the South End is next week! This night full of chefs is the perfect excuse to get out of the house this March, which will hopefully come in like a lamb rather than a lion!

A little about Taste of the South End from one of Boston’s favorite chefs:

“The Taste of the South End is Boston’s premier food & wine event in our neighborhood and it brings together all of the South End chefs for the AIDS Action Committee. It is a fine way to both raise money for a wonderful organization that does vital work in our community and also have fun saying hello to friends, neighbors and colleagues. I would not miss this event for the world,”  -Chef Gordon Hamersley.

I haven’t been to the Taste of the South End in a few years, but the last time I went I had an amazing time. I have heard it just gets better every year. This year’s Taste of the South End lineup includes SO many favorite restaurants like B & G Oysters, Cinquecento, Myers + Chang, and Sweet Cheeks. The night promises to be delicious and all for a great cause.

About AIDS Action Committee

AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts is the state’s leading provider of prevention and wellness services for people vulnerable to HIV infection. It provides services to one in six people in Massachusetts living with an HIV diagnosis. Many of the people who seek services at AIDS Action have more pressing, immediate priorities than HIV—which can rank third or fourth on their list of concerns after homelessness, malnutrition, or domestic violence. That is why in addition to HIV counseling and testing, and needle exchange, AIDS Action provides services in mental health counseling; housing assistance; and legal support. Additionally, most of our clients have average annual incomes of less than $10,000 a year.

AIDS Action works to prevent new HIV infections, support those affected by HIV, and tackle the root causes of HIV/AIDS by educating the public and health professionals about HIV prevention and care; and advocating for fair and effective HIV/AIDS policy at the city, state, and federal levels. Founded in 1983, AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts is New England’s first and largest AIDS service organization. In 2013, AIDS Action formed a strategic alliance with Fenway Health that will allow the two organizations to work more closely together and improve delivery of care and services to people living with HIV/AIDS.

I realized the other day that I write about most of the Boston food and wine events I attend after I attend them which is not helpful for people might want to also attend.

Here are a few events I am either planning on attending or have attended in the past. If you have any questions about them, please let me know!

Taste of the South End

March 8, Boston Center for the Arts

If you were reading this blog last March, you might remember my review of Taste of the South End. I was a volunteer at the event, but in a pretty sweet setup, volunteers got to taste food on breaks. It was amazing, fun, and felt really good to be involved in such a good cause. Taste of the South End benefits Aids Action Committee of MA and brings together the South End’s best, restaurants like Myers + Chang, Petit Robert Bistro,      B & G Oyster, and Picco among MANY others.

Spoonful of Ginger

March 28, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

I remember the day the Spoonful of Ginger event happened last year very clearly because tweets were flying all over the Twitter-verse about it, and I was quite jealous I wasn’t in attendance. Spoonful of Ginger benefits the Joslin Diabetes Center and its Asian American Diabetes Initiative. Diabetes is such an awful disease, and I am excited to support this event. Chefs like Joanne Chang and Jasper White will be cooking up tastes for attendees, so you know it will be a delicious time for a good cause!

Share our Strength’s Taste of the Nation

April 14, Hynes Convention Center

According to the Share our Strength website: Share Our Strength’s Taste of the Nation® is the nation’s premier culinary benefit, featuring top chefs and mixologists — all of whom are coming together to donate their time, talent and passion to end childhood hunger in America.

I also remember reading blog posts and tweets about this last year and wishing I had gone. The food looked absolutely amazing, and ending childhood hunger is definitely something that we can all get behind.

Do you have any events like these you are looking forward to in the coming months? Feel free to share links!
