🍷🍽️ About Last Week… 🍷🍽️

Chef Paul created a gorgeous summer menu of Heirloom Tomato Tart Tatin, Smoked Salmon with Roasted Red Beets and Strawberries and for dessert—Mexican Chocolate Pot de Crème with Dark Cherries and Candied Marcona Almonds. It doesn’t get any more seasonal than that!

A huge thank you to for graciously donating their award-winning wines to complement Chef Paul's menu. And, as always, we couldn’t present our monthly Fresh Starts Chef Events without our talented team who make the ex*****on of these events seem so effortless.
