An opportunity to convene with chefs, designers, bloggers, artists, musicians, and gourmands that are shaping the future of food and drink in America. They’ll kick off the HRN Salon series with salsa from BK salsa, some of their favorite beers from Bluepoint Brewery, and some killer bison jerky at the HRN warehouse. Buy tickets here, so you can, as Heritage says: “join the conversation, share your voice, and make sure you’re taste making and not taste faking.”
