‘Toast to the Coast’ Comes to Hampton Beach

HAMPTON/EXETER—
The Hampton Area and Exeter Area Chambers of Commerce invite you to an extraordinary night out, commencing with a sampling of wine, beer, and tantalizing hors d’oeuvres, sweet treats, chocolate, and so much more! Besides the mingling, sampling, and noshing, the evening features an opportunity to find our own “Top Chef” right here on the seacoast. Restaurateurs are invited to compete for the Prestigious Award “Best of the Toast to the Coast.” The 401 Tavern took the award in 2010 with a crowd-pleasing menu consisting of Margarita Oysters and Grilled Asparagus with Tapenade Vinaigrette. Restaurants interested in taking part in the event should contact Gretchen Heilshorn McDonald at 603-772-2411. Mark your calendar! Doors open at 6:30 p.m. on May 12 at the Ashworth by the Sea on Hampton Beach. Tickets may be purchased in advance or at the door. Order online at www.hamptonchamber.com or call 603-926-8718. This event is generously underwritten by People’s United Bank.
