Last Wednesday I was fortunate to be given two tickets to attend the media launch of 'A Taste of Burlington'. 
The event was held at the beautiful Burlington Art Centre in the Shoreline Room, overlooking Lake Ontario.
Numerous of Burlington's finest restaurants who are participating in the summer season's A Taste of Burlington program were present. 
They served a wide variety of their specialties and attendees had a pleasant afternoon dining on samplings of Burlington's best.
The wines of Ontario were well represented also and we were able to sample some of the finest wines Ontario has to offer.
Musical entertainment played softly in the background while we were treated to a delicious afternoon lunch from Burlington's finest.
A Taste of Burlington runs from Monday, July 19th to Monday, August 2, 2010. During this time period diners will be able to experience the finest restaurants in the region as 23 of Burlington's restaurants offer prix-fixe lunch and dinner menus.
During the summer program of A Taste of Burlington, participating restaurants will offer 3 course meals for $20 (lunch) or $30, $35 or $40 (dinner).
A Taste of Burlington is a very popular program for locals and tourists alike.
Reservations are recommended.

Jo - very scrumptious looking ..... I trust you enjoyed the "samplings" and "tastings" as well as the background music.
Jo-I am going to have to hit our leftover lasagna in the fridge after looking at all those great pictures of your kickoff luncheon for your "Taste of Burlington"!! It looks like the townsfolk will be well fed later in July!
Jo, It is good to see you back! It looks like you got a preview ;).
Jo~
Missed you! I especially liked the sailboats. Jut looking at the models, I could imagine myself sailing in a Schooner on Lake Huron......
Jo, "A Taste of Burlington" looks like a tremendous event. The prices sound almost as good as the food looks.
Hi Jo,
Wow! Everything looks great. I suspect you had an incredible time? Or did you hang around the wine tasting too long and can't remember LOL
Jo, that sounds like a pretty neat way to spend the afternoon. What a great way to promote the local businesses.
Kathy,
I enjoyed it very much. The food was excellent and it looks like A Taste of Burlington is an event that tourists and local residents alike should be sure to take advantage of this summer.

Lasagna is one of those dishes that always tastes better the next day....

hi Janice,
We're so fortunate to have a great abundance of excellent restaurants in Burlington and area....and at such reasonable prices that everyone should be able to try out a few of them this summer.
Jo
hi JaneAnne,
I can picture you sailing....you'd be cloudgazing and taking in all that nature has to offer.
Jo

lol, Pam
I had a half glass of Chardonnay from an Ontario winery and that was my limit for the day. It was wonderful though, as are all of the Ontario wines I've tasted.
Jo
Malcolm,
It was a very pleasant afternoon and a great introduction to many of Burlington's finest restaurants.

O wOw JO..I wish I was there that looks really tasty!! If I could pick another profession, being a food critic would be it..yum!!
Jo-Anne, I'd love to get out for a tour on one of those representative sailboats! I miss sailing. Actually, for the 3 rd summer, my Hobie Cat is on Lake Ontario with it's new owners. I miss my Hobie!!!
