Too many people in one place, excessive lines for tix & especially "crab cakes" offering booths, boom boom boom music is distracting me while trying to watch the Orioles game. And yes, I attended the very first Taste. I'm glad the money supposedly goes to charity, but the days of The Nighthawks playing on a stage right in front of Tastee Diner are sorely missed. Enjoy, and I hope you all get food poisoning.

I don't eat when there's no running water.

Weather started out rainy, but cleared in time for a successful event. Congrats to all of the participating restaurants. And to 12:17, you jinxed the Orioles. Nice going.

Haha! I would never eat the food. It did remind me of swine brought to trough, I can't imagine too many locals being stupid enough to pay for subpar and miniscule tasting portions, so it was probably the greater MoCo contingent being fleeced. $8 beer and $5 coffee after waiting in two lines... oh you stinking sheep, you deserve what you get!

It's the annual event that brings the tourists to the Triangle.

Does 12:17 think it is cool to say they hope attendees get food poisoning? And if 3:08 believes that thousands of locals are stupid swine or "stinking sheep," is he also hoping to slaughter us all? Just nasty snark. Attendees were there to have fun, something these writers do not know how to do.
