Food and Friends Benefit, June 1, 2009

 

 

That's the event creator Chef Tim Devine of Food & Friends and one of his fellow creations welcoming everyone at the VIP reception!

As is their wont, the folks from The Inn at Little Washington were a heavenly (over the) topping for the long, and adoring, crowds adorning their booth for tasty bites, or should we say, bits.

 

 

Owner Patrick O'Connell had his foodie-parishioners 'hell-bent' on samplings as he blessed them from his heavenly abode. No sermons attached, thank god.

 

 

The dessert ladies from Art and Soul DC Restaurant, the fine dining spot on Capitol Hill, had the most delecatable desserts!

 

 

Chef Jeff Tunks and Partner Gus DeMillo from Ceiba Restaurant were all smiles!

 

 

Just some "fat cats" at a VIP Table who paid it happen!

 

 

That's Publisher Lak Vohra flanked by the Junk Food Lady (l) and Miss US Virgin Islands Jose (Tony) Sanchez (her business card says "Ineeda Anaconda" in true parenthesis!)

 

 

Before we left all pate'd out, we regrouped with the affable Tim Devine who was caught mapping the room with NBC4's Wendy Rieger.
