The best of Toronto's food scene come together on June 4 to Second Harvest

TORONTO, April 25, 2017 /CNW/ - Second Harvest, Canada's largest food rescue charity, is calling all food lovers and connoisseurs to Toronto Taste, Toronto's original premier culinary event presented by The Daniels Corporation. On Sunday June 4, guests will savour every second as the best of Toronto's food world go head-to-head, trying to outdo each other to the absolute satisfaction of the crowd and the benefit of Second Harvest.

The event will feature spectacular dishes and drinks from over 90 of the most sought-after restaurants and beverage purveyors, including Baro, Lavelle, Kanpai Snack Bar, Bar Reyna and Ufficio, all new for the 27th year of the fundraiser. Guests will enjoy breathtaking lakeside views, an eclectic selection of wines and beers, the chance to win exciting raffle draw prizes including $10,000 USD in flight vouchers from Delta Air Lines, a live auction offering the opportunity to dine at Bob Blumer's LA home or join Chef Roger Mooking for an action-packed food tour of New Orleans, and much more.

"We're looking forward to an unforgettable culinary experience at Toronto Taste. We are thrilled to host new restaurants and to have the loyal support of those that have participated for many years.
