If a mini road trip to Atlantic City was not planned in your agenda for the weekend of May 18, you might want to reconsider. Starting on Friday the much desired Revel, a 6.2 million square foot beach front entertainment resort on the Boardwalk at Atlantic City, will throw down an exclusive event with the help of Food & Wine magazine.

The entire weekend will be dedicated to this chef driven food event deemed, Taste of Revel, starting May 18 and ending on Sunday, May 20. Revel’s Iron Chefs, Michelen star earners and James Beard Award winners will be present, hosting a weekend of parties, tasting events and dinners. You’ll find that the prices are extremely reasonable, all things considered. Dropping everything and heading to Atlantic City for the entire weekend is much recommended.
