Eat, drink and be Mary at the MDGLCC Foundation’s 3rd Annual “Taste of Miami” culinary experience, Saturday, January 14, 2012, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Showcasing the mouthwatering morsels and luscious libations of MDGLCC member food and beverage establishments, “Taste of Miami” will be presented as a stand alone event this year with proceeds benefitting the MDGLCC Foundation’s Scholarship Program and the LGBT Visitor Center.

“In two short years, ‘Taste of Miami’ has grown significantly in popularity as a social gathering and foodie event,” said Steve Adkins, president of the MDGLCC. “So this year, we decided to give our guests what they want and have the entire evening devoted to the ‘Taste’ experience.”

Last year, two dozen MDGLCC members participated in the “Taste of Miami,” Adkins said. Among those participating this year are City Hall the Restaurant, Season’s 52, David’s Café, Centerplate and Hyatt Regency Miami. In addition, signature cocktails will be provided by Bacardi and Grey Goose Vodka against the backdrop of musical interludes and special surprise guests.

Individual tickets to the “Taste of Miami” are $75 in advance at $100 at the door. Host Committee tickets are $450 and include six individual tickets, plus recognition in the event program. Sponsorships are available from $500 to $5,000.
