Taste of America

Budweiser and Scene have teamed up for Taste of America, a special "family-style dining experience" that takes place today at Whiskey Island and Wendy Park. The event will feature "bold and beautiful dishes" from James Beard Award nominee chef Jill Vedaa from Salt — items like Grandma's Potato Salad, cucumber slaw, and beer-braised pulled pork sandwiches. Admission is $25 per person and includes the meal, three beers and Budweiser swag; you can purchase tickets on the website. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland. (Niesel) 2800 Whiskey Island Rd., tasteofamericacle.com.
