What better way to celebrate the culinary and beverage geniouses of Fort Worth, TX than to partner with the James Beard Foundation? We think there is nothing better and Charisse and Kristi were honored to serve as podcast sponsors for the event held at Colonial Country Club on March 4.  With microphones in hand, the two took to task catching chefs and vendors before the kickoff of the 1.5 hour cocktail party.  The entire list of participants and sponsors can be found on the Colonial Culinary Classic website, but here is are the interviewees for this episode!

• Chef Martin Meadows - Colonial Country Club
• Chef Jon Bonnell - Bonnell's, Waters, Jon's Grill, Buffalo Bros
• Chef Blaine Staniford - 61 Osteria, Grace, Little Red Wasp

A special shout out to Chef Amy McNutt of Maiden, Spiral Diner, and Dreamboat Donuts & Scoops for representing the Vegan community so well!  We'll get her on an upcoming podcast for sure!  There are many other chefs and vendors well deserving of a shout out - y'all did amazing!

Varsity Communications, led by Dick Stephens, partnered with Jeremy Lamb, Colonial Somm and F&B manager along with the Charles Schwab Challenge to bring this event to  Ft. Worth and Colonial for the 2nd year. This year was every bit as exciting and we know you'll want to join next year after hearing about it from our guests!

We would be absolutely remiss to not mention the James Beard Foundation who inspires the culinary scene all over the US through education, inspiration, support and scholarship.  Funds raised at the event go toward financial support for  young women who want to enter the culinary industry.  We can't think of a better cause!

THIS WEEK'S WINE FIND:  The Parkside Flask from High Camp Flasks!
