Seventh 2009 Tasters Guild Event

 THE ART OF EATING
Food For All Seasons Picnic

at Island Park Pavilion  Island Dr. off Maiden Ln., Ann Arbor

Thursday, July 16; 6:30 pm

This year we’ve decided to give Food for All Seasons proprietor Toni Benjamin free rein to form a menu representing cuisines from throughout the world. She’s traveled far and wide for inspiration in developing a caterer’s culinary portfolio second to none. With Toni’s guidance, AATG director Dick Scheer has chosen an international range of wines to accompany the menu. Throughout the affair, Toni and Dick will introduce each course and its matching wine. So Hi, Ho, Come to the Fair. Shop until you drop; then spend a relaxing evening with us at the Island Park Pavilion.
