here we are more than a week later and no new posts! geez. as it turns out i didn't even do the last blog post correctly i created a whole new blog. i will try again. we are closed on sunday and i will post a food network challenge item or two then.
last weekend after we finished shooting challenge i went to do the Southwest Florida Food and Wine Festival. great event and we raised a ton of money for childrens hospital. i got to work with a dear friend, old boss and mentor Norman Love. the dinner we did on friday raised money for children's oncology and that dinner alone raised $50,000. i had a fun idea to auction off Norman and I doing a 5 course dessert experience in someone's home for up to 12 people during the live auction and it ended up going for $15,000! so psyched to be giving to the children's hospital in that way.
next week D bar is participating in the Taste Test series at The Lab at Belmar. check it out if you can. a really cool event I am looking forward to. here is a link to find out some details:
