Local James Beard award winning chefs Clark Frasier and Mark Gaier of Arrows, Melissa Kelly of Primo, and Sam Hayward of Fore Street, join forces in this not-to-be-missed epicurean affair, sponsored by Whole Foods Market, featuring tips, techniques and cooking demonstrations from these elite culinary professionals. This intimate gathering will feature gourmet hors d’oeuvres prepared with local products from Pineland Farms paired with the perfect pours from Errazuriz. Guests will also be treated to a unique taste from Vervacious, a hand-crafted dessert by Kristin F. Simmons, flavorful coffee from Port Bean, and live music by Mr. E Jazz Trio.
