The Stamford Chamber of Commerce hosted its 22nd Taste of Stamford event Feb. 26 at the Stamford Marriott Hotel & Spa, drawing a crowd of about 800.

The event has been a hit for two decades. “It has a life of its own,” said Jack Condlin, president and CEO of the chamber. “It was about two years into the event ”” 20 years ago ”” when it just took off and it has continued to be very successful.”

The reason, Condlin said: “People come for the food ”” that”™s the big reason. I hear it in the summer when I meet people. They say, ”˜You”™re the group that does the tasting in the winter.”™ And they want to know all about it. It”™s a wonderful night.”

Sponsors included BevMax: The Wine & Liquor Superstore, the main sponsor, and supporting sponsors the Fairfield County Business Journal, Nestle Waters, The Advocate, 95.9 The fox, The Stamford Times and Star 99.9.
