St. Jude Gourmet Gala

On Tuesday evening, I participated in the 12th Annual Gourmet Gala benefiting St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.  The event, which was held at the National Building Museum, provided supporters of St. Judes with an opportunity to taste some of the city's finest cuisine, including my friends at Marcel's, Equinox, Zaytinya, Volt and Vidalia.  All proceeds from the gala benefited the support of children suffering from catastrophic and life-threatening diseases.
