On Thursday, October 24, 2019, hundreds of Delmarva foodies flocked to Dove Pointe in Salisbury to partake in the Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce 12th Annual Taste of the Town, co-hosted by the SACC Young Professionals.
All Lower Shore restaurants were invited to participate in the “Iron Chef” style competition, and had a choice of entering in one of two categories; Simple Tastes category represented casual, light fare, and Signature Tastes was an upscale, more refined dish.
This year’s winners were Market Street Inn Restaurant & Pub & Vittles Catering & Food Truck
Market Street Inn won the Signature Tastes category. Chef Phillip Hitch was assisted by Cody Eagleson, and the two culinary creatives served a Deconstructed Surf & Turf Deconstructed short rib taco comprised of a crispy wanton, braised short rib, avocado mouse, pickled shallot barboca sauce, and micro cilantro.
