Chart-topping rock group X Ambassadors will headline Los Angeles’ Taste of the Nation event on June 3 at Media Park in Culver City. The band will provide a live soundtrack to this annual walkaround tasting event, which brings together 60 of LA’s best chefs, mixologists, breweries and wineries to support the No Kid Hungry campaign to end childhood hunger in America.

In addition to amazing music, the lineup of chefs is equally impressive, beginning with Chef Chair Dakota Weiss of Choice’s Sweetfin Poke. Co-chef chairs are Nick Shipp of Upper West and Top Chef alumus Bruce Kalman of Union.

Thanks to our partnership with Citi, we look forward to bringing together culinary and musical artists for a can’t-miss event experience to benefit No Kid Hungry,” says Jill Davis, Share Our Strength’s Vice President of Corporate Partnerships and Taste of the Nation.
