Taste of Bethesda 2023 Photo Gallery


Rainy weather, or the perceived threat of such, has in recent years shifted the biggest question around the Taste of Bethesda from "Which new restaurants will participate this year?" to "Will the Taste of Bethesda be held this year?" Perhaps weatherman Fred Weiss interceded for us in the Great Beyond, as a spritz of a morning gave way to a sunny afternoon and a successful Taste of Bethesda. Despite some of the cancellations of recent Octobers, the turnout was big - so big that some complained about the time it took to get through the taste ticket lines at some points during the day. Let's take a look at a clear-skied, if cool and blustery, Taste of Bethesda:

The band on Cordell with the full horn section sounded amazing as I was passing by I will say that. Getting to Dunkin Donuts wasn't easy. Great weather though no doubt.

Dunkin Donuts, SMDH!

No one uses that acronym so I had to look it up. Yeah, DD. It's a popular coffee and donut chain. I recommend the Dunkin Midnight large coffee with Stevia cause it's healthier and doesn't cause cancer like the blue, pink and yellow packets.
