Taste of the Nation - Charlotte

Add some of Charlotte's top bartenders, chefs, Panthers stars Thomas Jones and Muhsin Muhammad, and foodies together and you have the making of one of the town's premier charity events: The Taste of The Nation. Executive Chef Anthony Watkins and Marketing Manager Andrew Morgan were a big hit with delectibles from the menu at The Capital Grille. A recent visit was superb. Watkins' Pan-Fried Calamari with Hot Cherry Peppers, and Prosciutto Wrapped Mozzarella with Vine Ripe Tomatoes rank among the city's best dishes. Tasty Clips also loved the offerings from area restaurants: Basil Thai; Mez; Savannah Red; The Westin (Chef Tessia Harmon gets down); and Zink American Kitchen.
