Restaurant Participation

Why should we participate?

A Taste of Glynn provides a unique opportunity to spotlight your business to over 1,000 present and potential patrons from our local area and receive multi-media recognition for participating in the primary fundraiser for Amity House/Glynn Community Crisis Center.

Can we use kitchen facilities at The King and Prince?

No, The King and Prince kitchen facilities are in use for their guests and are not available to A Taste of Glynn participants.

How many “tastes” should we be prepared to serve?

We expect between 1,000 and 1,200 patrons.

What portion size is a “taste”?

A “taste” means just enough so guests can experience your delicious featured dish and leave them wanting to come to your establishment for more.

What will be provided?

Space provided for each participating business will be approximately a 12-foot by 6-foot space, to accomodate up to 2 banquet tables (72-inch by 30-inch) and up to 2 classroom tables (72-inch by 18-inch). In case of inclement weather, plan your decorating needs so that they may be reduced by half so all participants can be accommodated indoors.

Event volunteers will be available to help unload and transport food and supplies to your assigned area prior to the event and to help with removal after the event.
