Food Float Following the Bay Area's authoritative showing at New York's James Beard Foundation awards, local chefs lend their talents to "Taste of the Nation," a fund-raiser organized by national anti-hunger group Share Our Strength, which doles out all the event's proceeds to the San Francisco Food Bank, California Food Policy Advocates, and other local agencies. From Aqua to YoYo Bistro, restaurants, bakeries, wineries, and breweries will offer tastings throughout an evening that also includes a silent auction and raffle. The event begins at 6 p.m. at the docked Hornblower Dining Yacht, Pier 33, S.F. Admission is $85; call 495-2331.
