If you don t want to dine alone, then that usually means you have to
compromise when it comes to mealtime. Well, for one night, you can have
your cake and a date, too. The Pitch's annual Taste of KC is back, at the
Power & Light District from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Sunday.
Grab
bites from more than 20 area restaurants, including Waldo Pizza, New
York Dawg Pound, Dolce Baking Company, Pieroguys, and the Latin Bistro.
While you sample local cuisine, top chefs battle for the coveted Gold
Fork. This year, the Raphael's Charles d'Ablaing takes on Eric Carter
(President Hotel), Tito Le Chef (Latin Bistro), Matt Chaney (Rozzelle
Court), Tate Roberts (EBT) and Jesse Vega (Guadalupe Center). Tickets
are $35 if you order today, or $40 at the door. For an extra $10, a VIP ticket
gets you a goodie bag and entry to the event a half-hour early. Visit
