LAFAYETTE, CALIFORNIA – How about hitting up REVE and Horn BBQ for dinner, perhaps followed by a second dinner at Swad Indian Cuisine (with some falafel from Kabab Burger as a bonus)?
Then, maybe grab a drink at Social Bird, another one at Barrell Shop, and some dessert at Zoonies?
If you did this whirlwind tour of Lafayette’s dining scene, you’d only scratch the surface of an event that’s coming up soon on Tuesday, May 20.
The event is the annual Taste of Lafayette.
Basically, you buy a ticket (they’re $75), and then you get to stroll around the town sampling food from a growing list of shops and restaurants. Already, there are 34 places participating!
