Kick off the James Beard Foundation’s Taste America weekend in Boston with a welcome reception hosted by chef Rob Wong and the team at Hojoko. Enjoy a special cocktail party and tasting event with bites from featured chefs like Brian Miller (Fat Hen), Brian Alberg (The Red Lion Inn), Cassie Piuma (Sarma) and Robert Sisca (Bistro du Midi). It’s casual attire — no need to dress up for this one! — and it’ll be a relaxed time to meet and chat with some awesome local cookers. Menu details will be released soon, so stay tuned, and in the meantime, snag your $75 ticket before they’re sold out.
