Taste of Easton 2012 Celebrates Business and Food in the Shovel Town

Easton's business and restaurant community was on full display Tuesday night during the Easton Chamber of Commerce's fifth annual Taste of Easton at the Roche Dining Commons.

Tables scattered the room, each with a different business that had something different to offer. Businesses ranging from banks , to realty groups to summer camps were disbursed amongst Easton's many restaurants, pizza shops and liquor stores.

Residents browsed the room as the Jazz Band entertained.

While, as Chamber of Commerce Vice President Tom Reardon explained, everyone was a winner Tuesday night, took the grand prize and won the Taste of Easton for the third time in five years.

"We don’t’ look at it as a competition," Maguire's owner Neil Levine said. "You get to come in here and interact with the community. It’s a great event. You get to see a lot of people and get to see a lot of customers. It’s nice to win, but it’s nice to meet people and be out in the community."

Maguire's served samples of honey hot chicken tenderloins, barbeque steak tips and lobster salad rolls - all of which are top sellers on Maguire's menu, Levine said.

The premier sponsor for the event was the Wine Guys, and a portion of the proceeds benefited the Easton Food Pantry.
