Thank You!

Kristen Chemerika-Lew, from Chew / The Store Next Door, is the reason why the event came together. She worked unbelievably hard and we can't thank her enough.

ERA Bistro hosted us for the evening, and their staff went above and beyond to make sure things flowed smoothly. A huge thank you to Ben Sparrow, Toni Hudson and Stephanie Willette. 

Taylor Archibald from Ellements Wine and Spirits, our "course and beverage host," for the evening was exceptional and did such a fantastic job choosing the delicious wines. 

Thank you to all the chefs, their staff, and servers- you truly made the night what it was.
