Taste of Tri-Lakes Cares took place at Spruce Mountain Events, Larkspur, on May 15, where a dozen chefs went whisk-to-whisk for bragging rights. The eatery teams were given a selection of food items typically found at the Tri-Lakes Cares food pantry. Their mission: to create tasty dishes to tempt the taste buds of the more than 450 attendees.
