A party for the public with birthday cake and beverages in honor of the Taste section and its 50 years, one of the longest continual food sections in the country.

As the food section, Taste, of the Star Tribune turns 50, we look at the way we ate at home and in restaurants over those years.

Taste editor Lee Svitak Dean and and colleague Rick Nelson will tell stories of the Bundt pan over the decades -- and the sometimes wild recipes that went with it.
