More than 300 food enthusiasts trooped and accepted the challenge for an ultimate food experience at the first ever Pampanga Food Taste event organized by the Junior Chamber International (JCI) Angeles City Culiat Chapter.

Hungry tastebuds were allowed to savour bits and bites of their house specialties, and were asked to rate the food samples from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest).
At the end of the event, Toll House was hailed best among the rest which garnered an average rating of 4.15 in taste and 4.02 in creativity category. The other winners were House of Chops (1st place), Urban Crunch (2nd place) and Sakura (3rd place).
