The Taste of Nebraska 2010

Monday night I had the privilege of attending the Taste of Nebraska hosted by the Nebraska Restaurant Association. While I have attended this function for the past nine years, tonight brought greater meaning. The food was very different and offered me an opportunity to try foods and seasonings that I have not encountered before.















The menu consisted of a trip across the world.

Italy - Tuscan Chicken and Linguine Puttanesca
Mexico - Moroccan Beef with Cactus and Potatoes in Green Sauce
Greece - Braised Loin of Pork with Fennel & Lemon
America - New England Ale Poached Salmon with Shrimp Wild Rice
Asia - Crisp Roast Duck with Baby Bok Choy, Sugar Snap Peas & Pickled Plums

I actually tried each and every entree. Some I liked more than others, but I would eat almost everything again. We were also treated to a dessert bar, and I was able to meet many ProStart students serving. They did such a great job. I really enjoyed the evening and the food. I look forward to many more of these events.
