Diners in Baltimore doubled their pleasure and doubled their fun as they enjoyed a spectacular eight-course dinner prepared by two of Baltimore's top chefs, Ravi Narayanan, Executive Chef at Brewer's Art and Sonny Sweetman, Chef/Proprietor of Abacrombie Fine Foods and Accommodations. The June 7 event highlighted intense flavors and ingredients from specialty purveyors, both hallmarks of Jean-Louis Palladin's internationally-acclaimed cuisine. Wines were graciously supplied by The Wine Source, Baltimore, Maryland. All proceeds benefited the Jean-Louis Palladin Foundation.
