The delight of the attendees was obvious, as they grazed from table to table sampling the signature dishes prepared with perfection by the chefs and their staff. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Once the doors opened at 5 p.m. the crowd rushed into the ballroom to the aroma of freshly grilled meats, fresh pulled pork, platters of freshly carved meats and cheeses, braised chicken, freshly baked pies, grilled mushrooms, lasagna, pasta salads, seasoned chicken with an array of sauces, delectable mini desserts and chocolate covered fruits and more. As the song says, \u201cOh, What a Night!\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Many of the crowd took a break before continuing their feasting journey and talked with friends and visited the silent auction tables, took part in the Opportunity Drawing, or just hung out before beginning round two or three of samplings. The pandemic has taken a toll on the restaurant and food industry, and we are grateful to those food providers who could join us during these trying times.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-313604 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133649\/LMC-Taste-1-Online-July-1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133649\/LMC-Taste-1-Online-July-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133649\/LMC-Taste-1-Online-July-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133649\/LMC-Taste-1-Online-July-1-18x12.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133649\/LMC-Taste-1-Online-July-1-750x500.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133649\/LMC-Taste-1-Online-July-1.jpeg 966w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/200;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-313605 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133718\/LMC-Taste-2-Online-July-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133718\/LMC-Taste-2-Online-July-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133718\/LMC-Taste-2-Online-July-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133718\/LMC-Taste-2-Online-July-18x12.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133718\/LMC-Taste-2-Online-July-750x500.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133718\/LMC-Taste-2-Online-July.jpeg 966w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/200;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-313606 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133745\/LMC-Taste-3-Online-July-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133745\/LMC-Taste-3-Online-July-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133745\/LMC-Taste-3-Online-July-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133745\/LMC-Taste-3-Online-July-18x12.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133745\/LMC-Taste-3-Online-July-750x500.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133745\/LMC-Taste-3-Online-July.jpeg 870w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/200;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-313607 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133817\/LMC-Taste-Online-5-July-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133817\/LMC-Taste-Online-5-July-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133817\/LMC-Taste-Online-5-July-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133817\/LMC-Taste-Online-5-July-18x12.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133817\/LMC-Taste-Online-5-July-750x500.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20220722133817\/LMC-Taste-Online-5-July.jpeg 870w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/200;\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">A huge thank you to Dream Dinners, Edible Arrangements, Hooleys Public House, Little Roma, Marie Callender\u2019s, Nonno\u2019s Ristorante Italiano, Outback Steakhouse \u2013 Mission Valley, Pick Up Stix, The III Tier Macaron Ice Cream, and West Coast Smoke &amp; Tap House who prepared their items with love and attention to satisfy this year\u2019s crowd.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The Chamber is grateful to EDCO, the presenting sponsor that supports this annual event.
