The public is invited to savor an abundance of flavors at the Arthritis Foundation‘s 27th annual Taste of the Town from noon to 3 p.m. Sept. 7 at Riviera Park & Gardens, 2020 Alameda Padre Serra.

More than 80 Santa Barbara County restaurants and wineries will offer food and wines samplings. The honorary chairs for this year’s event are Richard Yates and Tina Takaya, owners of Opal Restaurant & Bar in Santa Barbara.

Returning for the second year as guest chef will be Chris Barbato from the world-famous Commander’s Palace Restaurant in New Orleans. Chef Barbato will be serving one of his signature New Orleans specialties, which also delighted guests last year.

Taste of the Town is a wonderful opportunity to sample the bounty of Santa Barbara County while supporting the local programs and services of the Arthritis Foundation. The foundation is the only nonprofit organization dedicated to discovering the cause and cure for arthritis, today’s No. 1 disabling disease that affects one in every five Americans.

Advance tickets are available for $100. If available, tickets at the door will be $125. For reservations, call the Arthritis Foundation at 805.563.4685 or visit www.tasteofthetownsantabarbara.com.

Laura Kath of Mariah Marketing represents the Arthritis Foundation.

Noozhawk Asks: What’s Your Question?

Welcome to Noozhawk Asks, a new feature in which you ask the questions, you help decide what Noozhawk investigates, and you work with us to find the answers.

Here’s how it works: You share your questions with us in the nearby box. In some cases, we may work with you to find the answers. In others, we may ask you to vote on your top choices to help us narrow the scope. And we’ll be regularly asking you for your feedback on a specific issue or topic.

We also expect to work together with the reader who asked the winning questions to find the answer together. Noozhawk’s objective is to come at questions from a place of curiosity and openness, and we believe a transparent collaboration is the key to achieve it.

The results of our investigation will be published here in this Noozhawk Asks section. Once or twice a month, we plan to do a review of what was asked and answered.

Thanks for asking!
