Cheers 🍻 to our Taste partners serving up amazing local food during @614Magazine Restaurant Week! Through January 27, enjoy delicious three-course meals for a fraction of the cost at your favorite local restaurants. Head to EAT614.com for more. #tastethefuture

‘Tis the season for cookies! Today we kick off the holiday baking season with National Cookie Day, and we have a soft spot for these pretty ones from Chocolate Cafe, made to help celebrate @cscc_edu’s 60th anniversary this year. #tastethefuture #nationalcookieday

May your Halloween week be full of sweet treats, no tricks! 🎃 We loved seeing @metrocuisine’s inventive new takes on classic treats, including watermelon-piña colada cotton candy and Cracker Jack cookies, at this year’s Taste. What’s your favorite local spot for a treat?

Happy #SweetestDay to all the Taste fans out there! The sweetest thing about #TasteTheFuture? Seeing our community come together to celebrate and support student opportunities. The second sweetest thing is, of course, all the decadent desserts on offer. #columbusfoodie

Today on #SouthernFoodHeritageDay, we’re dreaming about the spread of deep-fried sweets and savory Southern staples that @wdybeignets and @waydwnyonder brought to Taste this year! #tastethefuture #columbusfoodie #columbusfoodscene #southernfood

On #NationalTacoDay, we appreciate our Taste partners who make supporting student success as easy as taking a big, delicious bite. Shout out to central Ohio mainstay @myrustybucket for these awesome Baja tacos! 🌮 #tastethefuture #columbusfoodie #columbusfoodscene #letstacoboutit

For #InternationalCoffeeDay we salute the folks at Blend who ensure the rest of us are ready for the day with caffeine and baked goods. We think you’ll agree that their cold brew with mini donuts were some of the most photogenic (and tasty!) bites of the night at #tastethefuture!

Happy #ExtraVirginOliveOil day to our Taste partner Green Olive Company! We love spotlighting fine local food, raising funds for students, and dousing nearly everything we eat with a healthy dash of Green Olive’s finest. #EVOO #tastethefuture #columbusfoodie #columbusfoodscene

In honor of #NationalFoodServiceEmployeesDay, we want to show extra appreciation for all our Taste partners—you make Columbus a culinary destination, and you make events like #TasteTheFuture possible. Show some love today to someone who makes your day a little more delicious!

We wish every day was #RiceKrispiesTreats Day! We’re *still* thinking about the Brown Butter Miso version that Joya's brought to Taste this year. It’s always a treat to see what @cscc_edu alum Chef @AvisharB and crew bring to the courtyard! #tastethefuture #columbusfoodie

Wishing a happy #InternationalChocolateDay to all our Taste partners who brought sweet treats to the event this year, including @chococafe, pictured here! You make supporting Columbus State students a little sweeter. #tastethefuture #columbusfoodie #columbusfoodscene

We had a great time at Taste the Future this summer — and we can't wait to do it again next year! Save the date and join us, Tues., Aug. 13, 2024, as we sample the best Columbus has to offer while supporting the funds that students need to graduate. See you soon, Columbus!

Fall classes began last week at Columbus State and we are proud to welcome so many new and returning Cougars! The record-breaking $280k raised from Taste the Future helps support these students from their first day to their graduation day. We can’t wait to see what they achieve!

Congratulations to our Taste the Future Sustaining Partner, @CMRColumbus, on the opening of their 100th restaurant, Cento! We can’t wait to taste what you cook up next! buff.ly/45KyPyt
