This sounds awesome and what a great cause. Id love to go.
My wife demands sultry delicacies! I try in vain to placate her insatiable hunger, but her voracious apetite knows no bounds. So my sisyphean toil continues, one grilled prawn, one amuse bouche, one fresh whipped pat of butter at a time, until there will be nothing left of me, until I, too, am consumed. Perhaps this event could provide some brief respite to my labors?
I’d love to go, as there will be many local places that I have always wanted to try. What a great opportunity to sample and find a new restaurant to visit!
I haven’t tried any of these restaurants, would love this
