The 2nd Annual:

 An Autumn Evening
In the Garden

          This culinary extravaganza was the creation of Chef Larry Schepici, Tosca, whose love of excellent cuisine and locally produced food was the inspiration for a wonderful evening.  15 outstanding chefs demonstrated their best talents and utilized the freshest produce, meat and cheese from 20 local producers.  The result was perfection!
