In the past, we’ve had some AMAZING eats here. The professional chefs serve everything from Hearts of Palm Ceviche to German Chocolate Cake. Each year, we expect to have a good time as we eat our way around the event, and each year we are thoroughly impressed with the foods and drinks.

We enjoy this event every year!
