Set in the spirited, quirky Bywater at the start of carnival season, Taste tells the story of six young New Orleanians – some locals, some transplants – preparing for the ritual that is dinner in the City that Care Forgot. While cooking a meal in a house that may be under construction or may be under demolition (only time and money will really tell), new friendships sizzle, old ones scorch, and dinner is ultimately served.
