Taste of Kansas City 2013

The thrill of eating outdoors — watching the sky darken before a predicted downpour brought torrents of rain — was just part of the excitement at this year’s Taste of Kansas City, held in the Live Block of the Power & Light District. In the sultry hours before the rain, however, 700 fans of the food event wandered from one vendor to the next, enjoying dishes from Kansas City’s favorite restaurants: double-chocolate petit fours here, airy macarons there. There were people who left the event wet, but no one left hungry. Photography by Angela C. Bond.
