Considering the coronavirus pandemic, the annual Taste the Future event will be delayed until October and held in a virtual format. You will be able to take part and support the Columbus State Foundation, from the comfort of wherever you are!

Taste the Future: Reimagined will be held Tuesday, October 13 at 7 p.m.

Of course, the event will be a bit different this year. It will be a one-hour broadcast to celebrate, recognize, and support our students, our partners, and our compassionate and resilient Central Ohio Community.

The virtual event will include culinary demonstrations, guided tastings, and a “cook-along” with a chef. As a grand finale, there will be a drawing for a winner to receive a private dinner for eight at Columbus State’s Degrees Restaurant.

More information is at tastethefuture.com.

Tickets can be purchased at this link.

All proceeds benefit student success initiatives. 

GRAND PRIZE EXPERIENCE
Enjoy a private, customized, five-course dinner and wine-tasting experience for up to eight total guests, hosted on a Saturday evening in Degrees Restaurant at Columbus State Community College.

Your personalized dinner party menu will feature delectable dishes to be created—with you and your guests’ preferences in mind—by Degrees Restaurant’s Executive Chef L. Fernando Mojica CEC, 2019 American Culinary Federation Columbus Chapter Chef of the Year. Your party can watch through the kitchen’s glass wall as Chef Fernando leads his team of Columbus State culinary apprentices and hospitality students in preparing and serving your unique culinary journey.

In partnership with Heidelberg Distributing Company, each course will be paired with a special beverage selection, curated by Mary Horn, Level 4 Sommelier and VP of Fine Wine Sales & Education. At your request, we’ll offer guided tastings as each course and its paired beverage are served.
