18家餐厅和另外18家企业将在第二届年度Taste Takes Flight活动上提供饮料、美食和购物服务，Taste Takes Flight是WINGS（Women in Need Growing Stronger）的资金筹集者，WINGS是一个专门为那些遭受家庭暴力的妇女和儿童提供安全舒适的房屋、咨询和过渡住房的组织。
这个高档活动由Women of Wings组织，期间将会有9次现场厨师展示、18个西北部郊区餐厅提供的300多种食物样品、由里士满（Richmond）国际美酒和奶酪之家（International House of Wine & Cheese）提供的美酒，以及与当地零售商共同举办的精品购物活动。
该活动将于4月27日在罗宁草原（Rolling Meadows）的Meadows Club举行，大约400名嘉宾出席，预计将筹集多达60000美元的资金，用于改善妇女的居所。
帮助女性
该活动的联合主席Nina Stephenson之前在德克萨斯州休斯顿妇女危机中心（women’s crisis center）担任无偿律师，她的个人目标是在这个活动上筹集足够的资金，成为WINGS安全屋的全日制经理。她表示：“我们的丈夫都非常好，很难想象有些妇女会陷入家庭暴力的情况，然后没有地方可以寻求帮助。”
Stephenson和会展委员会非常努力，并与联合主席Sue Rogers、Jan Sheppard、Suzanne Poggio和26位其他WINGS的女性一起合作，再加上区域厨师慷慨奉献时间和资源，才能呈现如此精美的烹饪会展。
厨师Gaetano Nardulli最近在巴灵顿（Barrington）开了一家NEAR餐厅，他将于本月第一次参加Taste Tastes Flight。在意大利为传统烹饪开发创新方法的肯代尔大学烹饪毕业生，将展示英式豌豆和意大利绿色芦笋烩饭。
Nardulli表示：“这是我们在当地的第一个会展，我们需要让更多的人来巴灵顿品尝美食而不是到市中心去。”
总经理Eustacio Duarte也将首次参加这次会展，他表示，Francesca’s Famiglia餐厅6年多以来一直都是巴灵顿的支柱餐厅，尽管它只是更大产业链的一部分，但它的目标却是成为邻家餐厅，被更多人所熟知。
Francesca’s餐厅厨师将准备家制的面团或马铃薯面做的的饺子，浇上番茄汁和融化的意大利奶酪，再加上一点轻榨优质橄榄油。
Park Avenue Wine Bar和巴灵顿McDonigal’s餐厅的行政主厨Theodore Stay是第二次参加Taste Takes Flight活动。
