The Carolina RailHawks announced today they will hold their Second Annual local restaurant showcase “Taste of the Triangle” on Wednesday, August 18 at 5:30 p.m. at WakeMed Soccer Park. The event will take place during the RailHawks match against Miami FC which will kick off at 7 p.m. Fans will have an opportunity to sample food and beverage from a number of local establishments by purchasing a special $3 bracelet (plus the cost of the match ticket) that will allow them entry to the VIP Sampling Pavilion. All proceeds from the sale of the bracelets will benefit the Food Bank of Eastern and Central North Carolina. Tickets and bracelets may be purchased at the LGFCU Box Office, by calling [masked] or by visiting www.carolinarailhawks.com.
"Taste of the Triangle was a fun, engaging event for Carolina Ale House staff and management,” said Mindy Stroup Amerson, Marketing and PR for Carolina Ale House parent company LM Restaurants. “It gave us the opportunity to mix and mingle with avid sports fans that also have a taste for good food in the Triangle. If people hadn't heard of our restaurant before, it provided us the opportunity to let them taste our food & invite them to check us out."

Over 50 restaurants from all over the triangle participated in last season’s event showcasing their various signature dishes and promoting their business. The RailHawks calculated that about more than 800 fans were able to go through the pavilion and learn more about these establishments while enjoying their food.
