Madison Locals Tasting Event 2009 benefits REAP Food Group
On Sunday, August 23, the Madison Club hosted The Madison Locals Tasting Event. This unique event paired chefs from local restaurants with local food producers to spotlight the incredible dishes that can be created with fresh, seasonal and local meat, dairy and produce. A portion of the proceeds went to REAP (the Research, Education, Action and Policy on Food group).
