Burien Bites is one of Burien’s most delectable events of the year. This is a community event, created to help raise money for local charities, where participants can get to know their neighbors, mingle and try specialty fare at local participating restaurants. People will have the opportunity to dine around town and taste different “bites”, all for only $2 a bite. Tickets for the $2 bites will be available for purchase before the event (at HomeTask or Discover Burien), or at the participating restaurants.  Participants then can redeem the tickets at the participating restaurant for their special bite. This event will allow people to experience new, different and fun restaurants that they may not have tried before. “We are always trying to find new ways to help the community and organizing Burien Bites is a fantastic way for people to have fun and be generous towards those who need our help,” said HomeTask CEO Jerrod Sessler and founder of the event. “It also brings our community together which is all about people building relationships.” You can support your community by helping raise money and tasting delicious food. Each ticket represents money that the restaurants will be able to donate to a charity of their choice.  This is the 4th Annual Burien Bites event and this year it will take place on April 9th, 2015 (5pm-9pm).  Not only do participants have the opportunity to try different bites at participating restaurants, but they also have the chance to vote for their favorite bite.  Burien Bites has a custom web app that allows participants to cast their votes and submit feedback for each of the restaurants.  The past 2014 winner was Maven Mercantile. Any local restaurant from Burien can participate and give a taste of their distinctive food that they offer. “We have invested or donated over $14,000 into local charities since starting Burien Bites, but the success is far greater than a check,” Sessler said. “The people of Burien come out to eat local and come together as a community, and that’s the greatest success of all. Burien Bites and HomeTask are contributing to making Burien great!”
