			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Taste of the Nation Orlando</strong> celebrated its 20 year anniversary<strong> </strong>last Saturday at the Orange County Convention Center. It was incredible! 2,000 people came out to the Valencia Ballroom to taste Orlando’s finest cuisine.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.strength.org/" target="_blank">Share Our Strength’s</a> Taste of the Nation® is the nation’s premier culinary benefit dedicated to making sure no kid in America grows up hungry. We are proud and honored to be one of the beneficiaries of this amazing event.</p>
<p>Over 30 of Central Florida&#8217;s leading restaurants came out in full force. Not only did everything taste great, but it looked beautiful too. There was live music by local band <a href="http://www.crashrealityband.com/" target="_blank">Crash Reality</a>, a silent auction, and even a chance to make your own music video! I know I had a great time, and I think it&#8217;s pretty safe to say that no one left that night without a full stomach and a smile on their face!</p>
<p>Over $145,000 was raised through ticket sales, raffles and the silent auction, which will go towards fighting childhood hunger. Proceeds locally benefit <a href="http://www.centralfloridahomeless.org/" target="_blank">Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida</a> and <a href="http://www.foodbankcentralflorida.org" target="_blank">Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida</a>; state wide beneficiaries include <a href="http://www.flimpact.org/" target="_blank">Florida Impact</a> and the <a href="http://www.ruralisc.org/nfedc.htm" target="_blank">North Florida Educational Development Corporation.</a> </p>
<p>Thank you to everyone who came out to the event. We are already thinking about next year when Taste of the Nation Orlando turns 21! Enjoy the pictures.</p>
