The Chairpeople of the event, Joe Mandaro and Kathy Wilson, along with their dedicated committee are organizing an evening of fun, food and entertainment to be enjoyed by all.   The spectacular Chateau Briand provides truly elegant atmosphere and comfortable setting for all guests to enjoy their sampling fare throughout the evening..

In keeping with the Scotto Brothers tradition of creating one-of-a-kind locations, they have once again “Set the Standard” by going above and beyond with the creation of the Chateau’s multi-million dollar Outdoor Oasis.  Weather permitting, Taste & Toast the Town guests will stroll in between swaying palm trees, relax on over-sized seating pit groups enjoying the delights and beverages from a myriad of restaurants, bakeries and wine and spirits establishments while helping to raise significant funds for ucpn.  Guests can chat in front of our colossal fire pit or unwind in the pavilion that comes complete with paddle ceiling fans and communal seating arrangements.

Distinguished judges for the competition will include members of the American Culinary Federation – Long Island.

The ucpn is very grateful to all the participating food and spirits establishments and to the event  sponsors for making this evening so enjoyable.
