Taste of the West Tasty Display of Local Diversity

The West Bloomington Revitalization Project's Taste of the West event wasn't fooling around April 1.

Local culinary lights brought their multicultural best to Bloomington First Christian Church to benefit the services the Project brings to the west side.

Jessica Chacko Jackson and local students (below) represented Not In Our Town: Bloomington-Normal at the Taste. Fifty-seven individuals signed the NIOT/NIOS pledge at the event.

Taste of the West featured dishes by Romelia Aza, Annie Foster, Selina Gunn, Reve Jackson III (Jackson's Soul), Chef Jose (Rosy's Grill), and Kelly Mathy (Kelly's Bakery & Cafe).
