Thalian Hall will present the 2018 Taste of the Town on Sept. 11, with downtown Wilmington restaurants providing a sampling of their signature dishes for participants to enjoy and critique.

This years participants include: Anne Bonny’s Bar & Grill, Bella’s Bar Local, Dram & Morsel, Elijah’s, Fat Tony’s Italian Pub, The Pilot House, PinPoint, Platypus & Gnome, Savorez, Tarantelli’s and The George on the Riverwalk.
