BEHIND THE SCENES 

Orna is a Mercer Island resident and self-proclaimed foodie who has traveled to more than 50 countries and participated in numerous food tours.  Upon her return from a recent trip to Portugal, she realized the value she could bring to the Island's blossoming food scene; she could help both residents and visitors to the Island learn about its history and experience great locations they might not otherwise know about.  Orna loves to learn and explore foods, places and people.  Taste of Mercer Island is her latest venture in the community she calls home.
