On May 27th, 2011, Burien restaurant owners and hungry participants came together for the first annual Burien Bites. CEO of HomeTask Network Jerrod Sessler organized a community event to celebrate local restaurants and fundraise.

Last year honors went to 909 Coffee & Wine for their ceviche, roasted peach salad and braised oxtail with oyster mushroom and fresh pasta.

This year, Burien Bites falls on Sunday, June 2, and check-in begins at 11:am at HomeTask, 611 SW 152nd St. It is organized by HomeTask, sponsored by Freggies.

You have seven hours to sample the offerings, 11am to 6pm. You visit multiple restaurants. Event registration fee is $10 per person to support Burien charities. Each restaurant will serve a special bite for $5. There will be an awards party at HomeTask beginning at 6pm. The public is invited.

Proceeds will benefit the Highline Schools Foundation, New Futures, YETI, (Youth Experiential Training Institute), Highline Food Bank, and HomeTask Cares Foundation.
