Taste of the Nation

I’m what I would call a grazer. I’m the girl that wants to eat out with 10 people so we can all order different things and I can have a bite of all your food. I do, however, realize that not everyone likes sharing his or her food (ahem, Coach.) So, things like Taste of the Nation are the best idea ever for me. Tons of local restaurants coming into one place and offering me bite-​sized servings of some of their best stuff? And I can wash it down with tiny samples of local beers and wines or specialty cocktails made by Denver’s finest (and I do mean that in both senses of the word) bartenders? Sign me up!
I think the most visually appealing sample for me was from Os because they did the whole liquid nitrogen thing and that is just so cool to watch. Plus I got to eat bubbles and didn’t die of poisoning. The novelty lover in me definitely appreciated that.
The most appealing thing I ate for my tongue however came from Table 6. It was pork and watermelon and quite simply delicious. If I were royalty I’d have my personal chefs always making this just so it was lying around my kingdom and I could eat it whenever I wanted.
Overall, it was a great event for a great cause and I was glad to be able to participate in it.
