A Celebration of
Lowcountry Cuisine at
The 30th Annual
Taste of Charleston

Charleston, SC --- October 8-10, 2010 will mark the 30^th annual Taste of Charleston event. The three-day celebration of Lowcountry cuisine is being hosted once again by the Charleston Restaurant Association and will feature some of Charleston's finest, nationally-renowned chefs. For more than 20 years, this charity fund-raising event has been named one of the "Top 20 events in the Southeast" by Southeastern Tourism Society. More than 10,000 guests are expected and there will be something for people of all ages to enjoy. In addition to a few new surprises this year, there will be three events returning to the weekend, including:

Taste - Iron Chef Competition will be held Friday, October 8, at the Culinary Institute of Charleston's Palmer Campus in downtown Charleston and will showcase some of the best local chefs in a heated head-to-head battle in the Institute's state-of-the-art amphitheater kitchen.
Taste of the Arts on Gallery Row will be held Saturday evening, October 9, at various art galleries in downtown Charleston. The art walk combines Lowcountry art with the culinary arts and will showcase the talents of local artists while offering guests a sampling of appetizers from a variety of Charleston's favorite restaurants.
Taste of Charleston (Main Event) will be held on Sunday, October 10, at Boone Hall Plantation in Mount Pleasant. The event will showcase a sampling of culinary treats from more than 45 of Charleston's favorite casual and fine-dining restaurants. Additional highlights include the legendary Waiter's Wine Race, food and wine pairings, a selection of specialty and imported beers, live bands on the main stage and a Kids Corner (complete with pony rides).

This year, the Taste of Charleston's main event will also play host to the Lowcountry's largest snow-cone!

Tickets for all events may be purchased online at www.charlestonrestaurantassociation.com. Tickets to the main event are $12 in advance and $15 at the gate.

The Charleston Restaurant Association is asking the Charleston community to help them celebrate and remember the past three decades of this important event by participating in a photo contest.

A winner will be chosen from each year to receive a prize package, including tickets to the main event.
