Tricia Hudson of Hudson Coastal Raw Bar & Grill discussing the importance of attending the Taste of Maryland Legislative Reception.
The 29th Annual Taste of Maryland took place on Monday, January 21, 2019 at the Hotel Annapolis (formerly the Loews Annapolis Hotel). The event began with an exclusive legislative preview session, hosted by RAM’s Senior Vice President of Government Affairs and Public Policy, Melvin Thompson at 4:00pm, followed by our cocktail reception from 5:00-7:30pm. The evening featured food sampling from over two dozen local restaurants, EVO craft beer, wine from Maryland wineries and mingling with members of our state legislature.

The Taste of Maryland is the Restaurant Association of Maryland's signature Government Affairs event. Held each year at the Hotel Annapolis (formerly Loews Annapolis Hotel), the event brings Maryland's hospitality leaders together with their state legislators to advocate for the industry and sample food from restaurants around the state.
