BUSHWICK — Gorge on an array of what the neighborhood's diverse culinary scene has to offer — including deep-dish pizzaPakistani BBQvegan Ethiopian cuisine and Mexican fare — at the third annual Taste of Bushwick.

On Tuesday, June 14 dozens of Bushwick and East Williamsburg eateries, bars, stores and other business will gather to offer samplings of their goods under one big tent at Boar's Head Distribution Facility located at 24 Rock St.

Staples of the Bushwick foodie scene will dole out mouth-watering samples from the Michelin Bib Gourmand winner Faro as well as from the Mexican Tortilleria Mexicana Los Hermanos.

Newer faces will also join the fray, including Foster Sundry, offering their specialty cheeses; Twin Sons with New Orleans-inspired deli goods and the vegan bakery Brooklyn Whiskers.

"The culinary scene in Bushwick is very, very vibrant and diverse," said Sue Kessler, director of Bushwick Starr, the non-profit theater in the neighborhood that's organized "Taste of Bushwick" as a fundraiser, now for the third year.

Kessler said friends visiting her in Bushwick are often overwhelmed by all the new restaurants.

"This is a great way to come on one night and try them all," she said.

A $40 ticket (If you buy it by June 7, otherwise tickets cost $50) will get you access to all the food and drink you desire.

The food fest runs from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m.
