Taste of the Lions is an extension of the league’s Taste of the NFL program, which began in 1992. The annual event is held the night before the Super Bowl in the hosting city and brings together the country’s elite chefs to raise funds for local food banks.
The Taste of the Lions is done in partnership with Henry Ford Health System, Kroger, MillerCoors, Michigan Office Solutions, Somerset Collection and U.S. Park.
