We are so lucky to call Ilma Lopez (Piccolo and, most recently, Caiola's) a client and a friend.

The lineup included Chefs:

Including amazing treats by:

Wine pairings with: Erica Archer [Wine Wise]
And drinks by: Briana Lopez [Liquid Riot Bottling Company]

We talked with the chefs about what drew them to participating in the event.

An amazing night at Flanagan's Table with an all-star lineup

One of the great pleasures of our work is that we get to spend time with many insanely talented folks we love and look up to. Last night at Flanagan's Table we were presented with one of those occasions.

The event presented a six course tasting to benefit the Maine-based organization Full Plates Full Potential. The lineup included Steve Corry, Rob Evans, Sam Hayward, Jeff Landry, Larry Matthews and Lee Skawinski. Arlin Smith hosted the event. That that we are able to work in proximity to some of these amazing folks—and to be fortunate to call several our clients—is beyond an honor.

Winter Point Oysters + Clams

As part of our ongoing coverage of the Pisha-Duffly's Family Feast series, Zack went out and spent some time them and the folks at Winter Point Oysters. Winter Point will be providing clams for the upcoming Family Feast event (Hams and Clams) at Slab this Sunday (September 28th).
