(Cincinnati, OH) The Duke Energy Convention Center is the location for the Best of Taste on Monday, May 12, 2008 from 5:00PM—8:00PM.  This event features the best appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, and desserts from area restaurants participating in the Taste of Cincinnati.

Proceeds from this event will benefit the Cincinnati location of The Fisher House.  The Fisher House is a unique private-public partnership that supports America’s military in their time of need.  Members of the military and their families are stationed worldwide and must often travel great distances for specialized medical care.  The Fisher House Foundation provides a “home away from home” on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers so that family members can be close to loved ones undergoing medical treatment for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury.  There is at least one Fisher House at every major military medical center.

Annually, the Fisher House program serves more than 8,500 families, and have made available more than two million days of lodging since the program originated in 1990.  Visit http://www.fisherhouse.org for more information.

“This event celebrates the best food our city has to offer while benefiting the brave men and women who protect and defend our country,” said Shari Einsel, Executive Director of the Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Association, “the opportunity to support such a great organization was a no-brainer for us.”

Best of Taste is open to the public.  Tickets are $25 per person and $10 for veterans.  Tickets can be purchased online at http://www.dineoutoften.com or to register by phone, please call 513-421-4272.  Tickets can also be purchased at the door.
