Healthy Food & Good Wine - Iron Chef: Kitchen Stadium St. Joseph

What a great time we all had at our Health Food and Good Wine event last Saturday. I had the distinct honor of serving at the “Alton Brown” (from Iron Chef) of Kitchen Stadium – St. Joseph. Over 400 people attended the fundraiser which raised funds for our Neuro Microscope as we further our Neuroscience service. Our Neurosurgeon, Dr. Norman Bamber and his wife Jill, served as our co-chairs along with Laura Foley and her husband David Cimpl.

A special thanks to Dorene, Sally, Caroline and our Foundation team. We also had many other volunteers from the hospital (please see list below). Thank you all for making this an amazing event. I also want to thank our restaurants, wineries, farmers and all our gursts. JJ (Jaspers) and Michael (Farmhouse) and Tate (EBT’s) were our Iron Chef competitors.

Please check out additional pictures which will be available through my twitter account, posted to the right side of this blog.
