The evening was the perfect mix of delicious and innovative dishes, from Fried Chicken and Caviar to a to-die-for Gooey Chocolate Cake with spiced Dulcey ganache, orange-buttermilk ice cream and agave pecan crunch. Thoughtfully curated spirits perfectly paired to each course and a buzzy atmosphere made it a foodie’s dream date. Each course was unique, with the chefs each personally introducing their creations and mingling with guests throughout the evening.
