Show . .v. yX?Tfe XT if There will be food and fun as far as the eye can see at the third annual Taste of Park City Sunday, Sept. 8. Taste of P.C. returns Once again local chefs are rolling up their sleeves and beginning to whip up a banquet of delicacies to be served on Main Street at this year's A Taste of Park City, Sunday Sept. 8 at 5 p.m. The event is billed as "an intimate outdoor dinner party for 1,000 friends." If last year's enthusiastic response to the event is any indication, the 21 participating restaurateurs this year will have no trouble filling the seats which will line an enormous dinner table stretching from the bottom to the top of Main Street. Those who have partaken of the Taste in years past are already lining up tickets at their favorite eating establishments. But for those who aren't familiar with the format, here is how it works: Each participating restaurant has reserved a specified number of seats at the town-long table and as soon as the reservation is made, its chefs go to town to concoct a menu guaranteed to outshine all of the others. (Think of it as your chance' to take advantage of the products of a giant cook-off. ) The restaurant then sets a price on its dinner menu and sells tickets for the seats it has reserved. You may purchase your ticket from the restaurant of your choice or you may call the Park City Area Chamber of j Commerce Convention and Visitors' I Bureau for, recommendations of new i participating restaurants. I ' Prices vary this year from $8.50 to i '" $30 per ticket. In the event of rain or other inclement weather, your ticket is a rain check for a meal of equal value at that restaurant. Among the tantalizing items to be offered this year will be filet mignon from the kitchen of the Glitretind, gazpacho from the Baja Cantina, forest mushroom salad from The Huggery, mousse de poisson from Philippe's, pesto lasagna from Mileti's and calamari from Janeaux's. The Claimjumper, Car 19, Texas Red's, Sneakers, Zach's Grill, Scrooge's, 1800 Park Ave., the Eating Establishment and The Club all are in on the act.' And this year several new restaurants will be debuting their fare at A Taste of Park City. The Columbine, which recently opened at The Resort Center, will be preparing shrimp-stuffed artichokes, broiled swordfish and chocolate almond torte. Tokyo Joe's is bringing its Casablanca salad, baked salmon, and fresh raspberries for dessert. And the Union Pacific Depot, not scheduled to open until this fall, will be offering a preview of cracklins (pork skin), boudin (Creole surprise) and andoville (sausage), all Cajun specialties to be prepared by a chef flown in from Louisiana. Jay Bundy of the Chamber Bureau warns it is best to buy tickets in advance. "I'm sure a number of restaurants will be sold out soon," he said. So the ticket is to get yours early, he said.
