Ohhh, Me So Hungry

As unique as people are, we certainly have one thing in common: a constant lust for food. Even a plant, actual vegetation, once demanded, “Feed me, Seymour.” And after years of slumming it at the corporate trough, real food — no matter the genre or nationality — is what counts...

As unique as people are, we certainly have one thing in common: a constant lust for food. Even a plant, actual vegetation, once demanded, “Feed me, Seymour.” And after years of slumming it at the corporate trough, real food — no matter the genre or nationality — is what counts. Call it “eating equality” and it’s the new black.

This Saturday’s first annual Miami-Dade Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (MDGLCC) Taste of Miami will bring that concept to life at the Miami Beach Convention Center. From 5 to 8 p.m., 20 area MDGLCC member restaurants, such as Asia de Cuba, Escopazzo, and Soyka, will offer samples of their goodies to anyone who’s interested — gay or straight. The best thing is that your stomach won’t be the only one getting happy after you fork over the $45 admission fee (or $60 at the door); proceeds will benefit the MDGLCC Foundation Scholarship Program supporting area youth. Visit gogaymiami.com for a full list of participating restaurants and to purchase tickets.
Sat., Oct. 3, 5-8 p.m., 2009
