The city’s brightest culinary stars returned for Lincoln
Center’s annual Taste of Summer. The fun-filled evening is a
Celebrity Chef Food Tasting that features delicacies from New
York City’s finest restaurants, combined with dancing under
the stars at Midsummer Night Swing, to music by J.C. Hopkins
Biggish Band.
Exclusively at Taste of Summer this year, compliments of Nokia
Nseries, guests sent text messages via their mobile phones to
receive more information on the chef, restaurant and food they
had just sampled. Nokia Nseries also had a mobile television
crew on site to capture culinary compliments from guests at
tables.
The Chef Host Committee Chairman was Ted Allen, “Uncorked Wine
Made Simple” (PBS), “Top Chef,” “Queer Eye” (Bravo) and “Iron
Chef America” (Food Network)
