This year, East meets West with two separate events.

Taste of Dearborn West event June 16, 2010 from 6-10 pm and Taste of Dearborn East event September 15, 2010 from 6-10pm. The event is sponsored by Ameriprise Financial – Advisor Jim Thorpe. Tickets are $25 ($30 at the door) if purchased individually or $40 (save $10) if you attend both. Reservations are required by June 14, 2010 for the West event.

Participants must be at least 21 to participate and will receive a wristband during the check-in process at Bryant Branch Library starting at 5:30 p.m. The wristband is to be worn by all “tasters” so restaurant workers will be able to distinguish them from regular patrons.

Tasters sample free appetizers, purchase drink specials if they choose, then catch one of the passenger vans available for transportation to the next participating restaurant of their choice. Transportation is available to participating restaurants until 10 p.m. and is sponsored by LaFontaine Automotive Group. Menus will be distributed to each participant and are sponsored by Oakwood Healthcare System.

Dearborn is thrilled to showcase the diverse variety of flavors that our local restaurants have to offer. Come sample the best restaurants in Dearborn right at their locations.
