Taste of Lake Forest Has Its Plate Full
Event is bigger than last year as scores descend on Foothill Ranch Towne Centre.
By Martin Henderson
More than a thousand people braved the crowd and the heat on Sunday at the third annual Taste of Lake Forest event at Foothill Ranch Towne Centre.
More than 30 vendors set up shop next to the Food Court and handed out samples of their fare to those willing to brave the line. And there were plenty willing to brave the lines as the event—which began a week earlier as part of Shop and Dine Lake Forest—wound down three hours after its noontime start.
Several vendors ran out of food before the event ended.
