Talented top chefs prepared their signature dishes and cocktails for more than 500 charitable community members at Share Our Strength’s Sixth Annual Taste of the Nation event June 2 at Montage Laguna Beach. The afternoon affair, which served savory bites and beverages under the setting sun, live music and sweeping ocean views, raised $203,000 to help end childhood hunger.

Through its campaign, No Kid Hungry, the organization’s proceeds help provide nutritious food to children in need. —A.B.
