On June 30th Foodstand co-hosted with Welcome Table a local chef’s tasting pop up at Purpose.
We’d like to share a quick recap of this SOLD OUT event!
First, we would like to take a moment to appreciate our co-host – Welcome Table. Welcome Table is a private chef booking service that supports Restaurant Opportunities Centers United (ROC United) organization that helps chefs dedicated to good food in finding jobs.
We were able to book 3 local amazing chefs for the event – Chef Flo, Chef Jin & Chef Mukti.
We had over 65+ diners that joined us — food lovers, writers, entrepreneurs, journalists, and most importantly dear friends of Foodstand and Welcome Table fans. All diners got three colorful delicious tastings from the chefs. Each chef also got to share their own stories, ingredients of the dishes and had time for a question/answer session.
