It just keeps getting better and better! Thank you to everyone who came out to support Club Culinaire's Annual "Picnic Des Chefs" - it's for a wonderful cause and always promises fun in the sun! This year was exactly that. : ) The "Frenchies" know how to get down and party - fine French Cuisine was on hand, appetizers galore, unlimited wine from various french regions, beautiful people and of course us (hee hee) Star Photo Party, LA's favorite photobooth! It was a lovely day in the city of L.A. The Picnic took place at the Montecillo/Old Lodge at Elysian Park. Elysian Park is spread out over 600 acres and is the second oldest park in the city of Los Angeles. Classic!! Located right next to Dodger Stadium, it was the perfect location to enjoy the best of LA's French regional cuisine. Special shout out to Kora Kroep (of Club Culinaire) for doing such an amazing job organizing this event year after year! It is always wonderful to run into old friends and re-connect with them - like Amy and Neal of Grace Restaurant...Good times!
